Getting a RinseKit for Rivian R1T

Streaming and other functions without Rivian Connect+

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.

A friend recently ordered this RinseKit for his camping gear:

https://rinsekit.com/collections/limited-time-deals/products/rinsekit-pro-immersion-heater-bundle

It fits in the gear tunnel or the front trunk with ease. With 12V power near the gear tunnel or also in the frunk (for those so equipped). Comes with a small battery to run the pump. The heater comes with cables to power it from 12V outlets or the hitch connector.

He also recently removed the pump and water heater out of the back of his camper so he's trying this as a replacement. The pump seems to work well but I think he will need more time to evaluate the heater. (note that the link is for the bundle but both are available separately).

I'm thinking about getting one too for my truck. Hopefully very soon I can make that happen as it'd be a good fit for the frunk.
