CONTRONX Design: Starlink Standard Suction Cup Mount for Rivian

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.

For those with the Starlink Standard dish and want to mount inside your vehicle, my friend has been testing this since Christmas and so far the suction cups are holding up well while in motion. Just a slight reduction in throughput during his road trip cause of the dish alignment but otherwise was a game changer where cell service was spotty in the mountains.

Cat6 cable tucked under the side headliner and routed behind the rear headrest and down into the passthrough to the gear tunnel where the router and power supply are stored and connected to the 120v outlet. My next move would be to have the Starlink installed on my truck for easy access to cell service especially when on a trip that I know cell service might not be the best.
