Rivian Switch Setup: Using Magsafe for a Clean Install

Last night, when I reached my Rivian truck after work, my iPhone displayed a message. I captured a screenshot to show what happens if you avoid signing back into the app. The Phone as a Key (PAAK) feature still works without logging in again. If you're in an area with poor cell service, don’t try to sign in. Instead, keep using the app and PAAK until you’re somewhere with a good signal and can access your password. The screen’s text explains this, but some users still get confused. This is a quick tip for PAAK users to avoid trouble.

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.
