Car Wash Mode Issue with Park Assist from Last Update

Now that I've installed the SnapPlate front license plate holder, I finally filled out the EveryAmp review. Here it is. Hope it helps others: Shipped promptly, so the license plate holder arrived well before we picked up the car. Engineered and built VERY precisely to hold the plate very close to the front bumper without scraping. Installation instructions were clear, would have benefited from one more picture showing how to find the center slots in the grille. Grille Depth Adjustment instructions were also clear; with one half-turn adjustment of three screws, the license plate holder fit PERFECTLY in place. Check the EveryAmp web site for photographs of how much their product blocks the front camera image at every setting. After reviewing the photos, I chose the center setting. I find the camera interference at that setting is trivial for me. There's a lot of competition for the front-of-R1 real estate. My understanding is that Rivian's front plate holder requires drilling a hole in a perfectly good vehicle, and can also block a small part of the camera image. Tow hook mounts take a tow hook out of commission, and can block a sensor. EveryAmp's mount is designed to protect the grille by snapping off when attacked by a car-wash brush, so you have to dismount it (relatively easy to do) and remount it before washing. I'm still happy with the EveryAmp product, which we have installed in our R1S and now R1T. Very best wishes!

Does anyone else encounter issues with the new Automatic Front Camera in Park Assistant interfering with Car Wash mode?

When I pull up to the loading track for the automatic car wash and attempt to initiate Car Wash Mode, the vehicle detects the approaching brushes and activates the park assist camera just before I press the Shift to Neutral button. This action completely covers the screen, preventing me from returning to the original screen.

To resume the car wash, I have to scramble back to the screen and quickly press the Shift to Neutral button. This process is challenging and risky, especially considering the potential for Park Assist to remain active during the wash. Consequently, I’ve resorted to disabling Park Assist manually before each wash to avoid any potential complications.

I believe this issue would greatly enhance the user experience and I’m curious if anyone else has encountered similar problems. It would be convenient to have the Park Assist camera layers under the vehicle menu in such cases, or alternatively, shifted to the right. Layering the camera seems more logical to me.

It's the first time I'm experiencing such and looking it up online, not a lot of people have experienced this so finding a solution hasn't been that easy. Decided to drop it here if anyone else has experienced this issue. I'm open to any suggestions.
