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.

I've been having trouble getting the Spotify Premium subscription I have to work on my R1T. I have made use of it before but all of a sudden, I’ve not been able to connect my spotify premium for a few days now.

The funny part is, i tried connecting it on a friend's 2024 Adventure R1T and it worked. Even without me having to do anything that I'm aware of to the 2024 model to have it automatically connect to my Premium Subscription, so I didn't get all the ads. I planned on taking my R1T for a trip this weekend and prefer to figure out Spotify connection so I don't have to listen to an ad every 5 songs!

Any thoughts on what needs to be done to get the subscription to work in my trucks? Appreciate the help!
