I’ve noticed a few owners complain about TuneIn or Spotify dropping out in their Rivians. That could be annoying in some ways, especially when you’re just trying to enjoy the drive. I’ve hit that wall too, with the screen blanking out instead of playing my jams. No need to worry, as there's a quick fix that’s worked every time, and I’m happy to share the workaround.
When your audio service flakes—maybe Spotify’s buffering or TuneIn’s dead—just log out of it on the screen. Wait a minute, log back in, and boom, it’s usually back on track. I’ve dodged a couple of frustrating moments with this little trick; it’s like a mini reset that sorts out the connection hiccups without breaking a sweat.
If that doesn’t cut it, hit the infotainment reset in settings after the login step. I’ve only needed this once when the logout didn’t fully do it, and it fixed things fast. So, next time your tunes stall, try logging out, waiting, logging in—and reset if you must. Could save you a couple of frustrating hours.
