Rivian Software Update 2024.43 Audio Profile Linking

New Lock Sound for the Day or Night

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.)

Driver Profile Enhancements

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, and units of measurement settings. Climate settings include vent positions, vent presets, and Auto mode status.

Place AI Summaries from Google Maps in Navigation

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

Cabin Climate Improvements

To enhance your cabin climate comfort, we've made the following updates:

• If the air conditioning is turned off, the temperature controls become fan speed controls at the bottom of the center display for quick access. We also improved the consistency of the fan speed control.
• To more accurately convey the temperature of the conditioned air, the airflow depicted on the center display now shows different shades of blue for cooling or red for heating.
• Gen 2: We improved cabin heating during extremely cold weather conditions.
