Rivian owners can now enjoy a native YouTube app, a native SiriusXM app, and Google Cast functionality inside their vehicles. These features are part of the latest software update, version 2024.47, available for both first- and second-generation R1S and R1T models.
Rivian R1S and R1T owners now have access to a native YouTube app inside their vehicles. This, along with SiriusXM and Google Cast functionality, is part of the latest software update . Both the pre-facelift and updated models get the new features. Rivian makes some very compelling adventure-oriented electric cars, but if you were stuck charging on a slow DC stall, you had very limited multimedia options on the built-in center touchscreen.
If you’re unfamiliar with the tech, it basically means you can use a smartphone as a remote to cast content, including video, to the car’s screen. The content is pulled from the internet by the car, but you need a smartphone to control things like subtitles or choose episodes from a TV series. Google Cast and YouTube on Rivian EVs Videos can only be played while the car is in Park.
