Screen Cleaner for Rivian from Abstract Ocean

I've been using my phone's hotspot for months, and my Rivian connects to it automatically to run TuneIn and Spotify through the built-in apps on the main display. To be clear, this wasn’t Bluetooth streaming but actual phone data, and the apps worked perfectly without any issues. In Monday for the first time, I saw a Connect+ message pop up, even though the truck was linked to my phone’s data. I can still stream from my phone using Bluetooth, but the sound quality and user experience weren’t as good. This issue started between over-the-air software updates, though it might be tied to a specific date in the system. I tried a soft reset, but nothing changed. Has anyone heard if Rivian changed their policy on this? I remember Connect+ used to mention it provided "data" for streaming apps, suggesting you could use your own data instead. Now, it seems like you need Connect+ just to access the apps at all. I was surprised they allowed phone hotspots to work before, so this might be a deliberate change. I’m okay with paying for Connect+ if this isn’t just a temporary glitch. Any insights would be appreciated.

I recently got my hands on the All-In-One Screen Cleaner from Abstract Ocean, and it might just be one of the most helpful tools for maintaining our Rivian screens! This clever device features a soft microfiber cleaning surface on all sides and comes with an integrated spray, making it super easy to clean your screen quickly and effectively. The microfiber surface is recessed into the plastic housing, and to access it, just pop it out by pressing your finger at the bottom.

You can spray the cleaning solution directly onto your screen (I recommend using the map view to avoid changing any settings), and with just a couple of wipes, your screen looks beautifully clean again. Available in red, blue, charcoal, and yellow, it holds 30ml of fluid—enough for over 200 squirts! Plus, the cleaning solution has a refreshing scent, is antibacterial, and is fully compatible with AO’s tempered glass screen protectors. If you’re looking for an easy way to keep your screen spotless, I highly recommend checking this out!
