Rivian Switch Setup: Using Magsafe for a Clean Install

On Tuesday, I went to open the frunk via the button in the bumper but instead the button popped out of whatever clip it's supposed to be held in. The rubber cover over the button is intact. Opened a service ticket just to find out the closest date available was late May. Yikes! It's not a critical issue of course as I can still use the key fob, phone or screen inside the truck to open it but I would love to have it fixed. I live a bit far from a service center and since I would rather not drive that far I opened a chat request to see if they could do a mobile service. No resolution yet on if they will go the mobile route but I found it funny that they requested a video of the issue, so i sent them a video of me filming the underside of the bumper looking at the rubber cover, pressing up and yep the frunk doesn't open, much good info to be gleamed from that. Service really is such an area that needs vastly more resources applied to it if they seem fully booked.

Last weekend, I helped my friend put a switch in their truck. They own a 2023 Rivian Quad and wanted to check out how others set up their switches before picking a spot.

I told them I use magnets for mine, and they liked that idea. I also suggested going with a wireless RF switch so they wouldn’t have to mess with wiring from the switch box.

After tossing around some options, they decided to stick the switch on one of their MagSafe iPhone mounts. It turned out nice, looks tidy, and works great.
