EV Play for Rivian: A Game-Changer for Apple Carplay Enthusiasts?

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?

So apparently, something told me to check under of my R1T last Saturday and I realized to at some bolts were missing. If you're someone who doesn't check under of your vehicle that often, it's a good idea to check the bolts holding your underbody shield in your truck.

I checked all my bolts and found two missing and one very loose. I checked ALL underbody bolts, reinstalled them with LocTite, paint marked them so I’d know which I did (in case I missed some and check later).

Reached out to Rivian and apparently they said they'd look into it. Hope to hear from them soon.
