Driving Disabled, Service Park Brake System "error message"

There’s this new device I heard avout called EV Play. From what I read, it promises to bring Apple CarPlay and some oretty interesting apps right to Rivian’s screen. I couldn’t find much chatter about it yet, but I read it’s a plug-and-play setup coming out this month. No clue on the price, but the thought of having my phone’s familiar layout front and center while I’m driving sounds like a dream. I’ve got my hands full with work and family, so anything that simplifies my day is a win in my book. That said, I’m not jumping in without thinking it through—years of juggling life have taught me to pause and ponder. Could there be any hiccups with adding this to my R1S? I wonder if it might mess with something down the road. And here’s a thought: could Rivian send out one of those over-the-air updates and block it after I’ve already bought it? I’d hate to invest in something only to have it fizzle out. I’d love to hear what other owners think—especially the seasoned ones like me. Is this a smart upgrade, or should I hold off?

Just last night, my wife tried to back out from garage our R1S, and couldn’t shift out of Park. She had the following message : “Driving Disabled, Service Park Brake System”. Has anyone experienced this?

We are just 2 hours from nearest Rivian service center. We tried a soft reset, and then a hard reset. It seemed to clear the issue and the car seems normal. But freaked me out a bit.

Here's a photo of what the error message said
