Nice on the car controls. Thanks for posting.

Any idea if you can ask "Alexa - fold in the mirrors". Since I will have to do this every time i back into my garage. BTW, I need to back in to my garage, so will be using mirrors to get close and then fold in just as crossing the threshold to garage door. Do you guys know if mirrors can fold while in motion (specifically in reverse)?

Alexa could out value Car play particularly with Prime Music and download cache Thx for posting

Now imagine your kids at the back shouting some of those command... I hope the AI is smart enough to identify the driver's voice only

You can turn off the wake word and use a button on the steering wheel to wake her up.

Alexa can be trained to recognize your voice but not respond exclusively to your voice. That it can be trained to recognize a voice, seems reasonable it could be updated to just respond to that voice.

You have to activate voice command with a button so kids would have to be ready to pounce when you did it vs. just shouting out "Alexa Emergency Stop" to get out of going to school.

Would be great if you could text with Alexa.

I'm waiting until I can set the wake word to "Rivian".

It would also be great to be able to say to Alexa on your phone, "Alexa, tell rivian to knell" (and I mean that in the drop to the lowest suspension setting, not to worship me lol) as you approach the vehicle. Does anyone know if the Rivian becomes one of you "Devices"?

any idea how to get alexa to make calls, keep saying needs phone permissions

 

[postwait]

Every time I say "Alexa, play Led Zeppelin on Spotify" it tells me I need to update the Spotify app. It works on my phone and in my house and Spotify is linked and set as my primary music source within Alexa. Any idea how to get (what is my most common use of) Alexa to control Spotify within the R1T?

 

[EaglesPDX]

What happens if you just say “Play Lead Zeppelin”? On Tesla the default is Spotify but whe I trialed Tribal, I didn’t have to specify the source the car chose. I wonder if adding Spotify to the verbal command throws it off.

Hey @postwait, what software version is your Rivian running? I heard that update 2022.31.5 could help. Unfortunately, both Spotify and Alexa have been full of bugs for the longest time, I think some owners are avoiding them entirely.

I am on 2022.39.1

It uses Amazon prime music. I'm an avid Spotify user and prime music is unsatisfying to me

@postwait if you add “on Spotify” to the end of your command it‘ll use Spotify just fine. In the Alexa app I believe you also may be able to set Spotify as your default music service.

 

[postwait]

It, in fact, does not work if I add "on Spotify." it says that I need to upgrade my Spotify app when it is safe to do so.

Anyone figured out a way to open garage doors using Alexa?

 

[O. horridus]

There's a thread on a different Rivian forum that explains how to use Alexa with several different thrid-party smart garage door openers. See Alexa to open the garage

I don't know if Alexa integrates with the built-in garage door opener on the Rivian, because neither my Alexa nor my garage door opener function works yet on my R1T - patiently waiting, now 2 months into a 3 month wait for the "soonest available" appointment
