I hear this a lot and it's surprising to me. We have three cars in our family (two with carplay and the Rivian) and carplay always feels like such a downgraded experience compared to that of the Rivian.
- doctoboggan 10mo agoI have a plex server and use Prologue for audio books. What would my experience on Rivian be like? I am guessing I would have to connect to the infotainment system as a bluetooth speaker? Would I be able to easily skip forward/backward and see the current chapter? I've been using car play for the better part of the past decade and don't know what it looks like in vehicles without it.
- Zee2 10mo agoI think the revenue source times number of people using Plex for audiobooks as a total market value for Rivian is approximately zero.
- doctoboggan 10mo agoIt’s not just plex, it’s the long tail of iPhone apps that work with CarPlay but don’t with rivian. It’s the reason I always seek out CarPlay and why Tesla has reportedly decided it’s worth adding CarPlay to capture people like me.
- Mashimo 10mo agoWhat if you listen to audio books with a 3rd party app that you really like, but it's not on rivian? I would expect you can still skip forward and back, and read titles. So as long as you start before you drive you might be gucci?
- Mashimo 10mo agoI don't know about Rivian, but last time I used bluetooth in a car you could see current title, play/pause and skip forward and back. But that is all, no playlists control.
