Tip / trick to Prevent Cell Phone Sliding Around on Charging Pad

Now that I've installed the SnapPlate front license plate holder, I finally filled out the EveryAmp review. Here it is. Hope it helps others: Shipped promptly, so the license plate holder arrived well before we picked up the car. Engineered and built VERY precisely to hold the plate very close to the front bumper without scraping. Installation instructions were clear, would have benefited from one more picture showing how to find the center slots in the grille. Grille Depth Adjustment instructions were also clear; with one half-turn adjustment of three screws, the license plate holder fit PERFECTLY in place. Check the EveryAmp web site for photographs of how much their product blocks the front camera image at every setting. After reviewing the photos, I chose the center setting. I find the camera interference at that setting is trivial for me. There's a lot of competition for the front-of-R1 real estate. My understanding is that Rivian's front plate holder requires drilling a hole in a perfectly good vehicle, and can also block a small part of the camera image. Tow hook mounts take a tow hook out of commission, and can block a sensor. EveryAmp's mount is designed to protect the grille by snapping off when attacked by a car-wash brush, so you have to dismount it (relatively easy to do) and remount it before washing. I'm still happy with the EveryAmp product, which we have installed in our R1S and now R1T. Very best wishes!

Since I took delivery of my R1S (loving it so far), I do get a little frustrated as my phone slides all around the charging pad, starting and stopping the charging.

It's been going on for a while and I searched for solution on some Rivian pages, all to no avail. Been managing the situation for a while until I saw a YT video of someone who had a similar situation and how he was able to get it fixed.

So following his guidelines, here's how I fixed it. I placed a furniture pad underneath the doors for the center console. Yes, it's that simple! It holds the phone in place, and nobody can even see it!

This is more of a tip rather than a trick for anyone who's maybe experiencing such and has probably been frustrated a couple of times just like myself haha... It's a quick fix and one you don't need to visit a SC for. Hope someone out there finds this useful.
