RIS Tailgate Cover / Protection: Looking for an alternative

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.

Been looking at getting tailgate cover but not been able to decide on whuch. Someone told me about Taxmat and that they're making 2-piece mat for the lower tail gate but not yet available.

Just ordered their cargo liner set and I will order their tailgate mat when available.

Meanwhile I have Kagu (3DMaxpyder) cargo mat for the rear and their universal mat that I've cut and fitted onto protect the back of the 3rd row and the lower tailgate.

It's not perfect but I have had it in this configuration for over a year. I wanted all to match and do not like the look of Canvasback. I'm sure its a fine product, its just not for me.
