Update 2024.43.0 - Release Notes

You now have the option to set the exterior lock sound to a bluebird chirp or an owl hoot. You can also set it to Day/Night, which alternates the lock sound between a bluebird chirp during daytime conditions and an owl hoot during nighttime conditions. Go to Settings > Vehicle > Access on the center display.

(Thank you, r/Rivian community, for the feedback.)

The Gear Shop now offers a new key fob as a separate physical key for your vehicle. To start the pairing process on your smartphone, open the Rivian mobile app version 2.16 or later. Go to Drivers and keys and add the new key fob, or scan the QR code on the box containing your key fob.

NOTES

- Use the Rivian mobile app only. (Setup isn’t available through the center display of the vehicle.)

- Only the vehicle owner can add a new key fob.

Your driver profile now links to your media streaming accounts, so when the vehicle recognizes your driver profile at the start of a drive, the vehicle automatically loads your media streaming accounts. Supported apps include Apple Music, Audible, Spotify®, TIDAL®, and TuneIn.

Your driver profile also saves your media, climate, driver assistance, and units of measurement settings. Climate settings include vent positions, vent presets, and Auto mode status.

With Connect+ on your Rivian vehicles, navigation now displays Google Gemini AI summaries for many places, from restaurants to national parks.

- We improved cabin heating during extremely cold weather conditions. (2nd Gen Only)
