Charging Tip For Your MagSafe Puck

I have previously used the streaming capability back when it first came out as well as the hotspot since before Connect+ was a thing. I am trying to get the streaming working again but it seems to have been hidden fully behind the paywall. (Not looking to argue the merits of that system here) I recall after Connect+ came out being able to still use the Hotspot while tethering with my phone, and losing it isn't a big deal other than needing to update my wife's wifi, but I think I remember needing to be on the Hotspot to do casting. My question is, did Rivian remove both of these features to fully behind the connect+ paywall? I thought that if you used phone tethering or if you were connected to WIFI you could use most all of the usual streaming like features of the Rivian? If anyone can recommend how to stream while using tethering I'm sure myself and others without Connect+ would appreciate it.

I make use of the Pixel 8 Pro with Magnetic Case for charging my phone, which works just fine with MagSafe pucks. Guessing my new iPhone 16 Pro without MagSafe case should also work seamlessly too.

So no more red USB-C>Lightning cable dangling outside the console anymore. To be fair that cable would have needed to be replaced with a real USB-C cable anyway so it's been relegated to the rear seat arm rest stash box for pre-iPhone15 passengers as needed haha...
