Rivian Amber Foglight Mod Using Lamin-X Film

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 got some amber film from Lamin-X and cut it to size and slapped it on his R1T. When he sent me the pictures, I love how it matches the side markers and it's a little different than the yellow.

I'm sure he knows that amber isn't the best foglight color, but, as someone who dropped a ton of money for yellow Diode Dynamic foglights for his Bronco and waited with bated breath for any sign of fog, he came to the realization that it just doesn't get that foggy that often.

So, he said he's fine with the reduced performance. If he suddenly appears in Stephen King's "The Mist", he'll probably just peel them off.
