Rivian EVs finally get YouTube, Google Cast, and SiriusXM
By: technology Posted On: December 18, 2024 View:

Rivian has released a new software update to its vehicles that brings some long-awaited apps to its in-vehicle experience. Owners who update their R1S SUV or R1T pickup truck can now use YouTube (while parked) or SiriusXM (with a subscription).

The company is also adding Google Cast functionality. That also can only be used while parked, but Rivian says the new capability will allow owners to cast more than 3,000 streaming or other apps to the center console screen.

The new additions should offer a nice quality-of-life boost to long charging sessions — something Rivian is also working on improving as it rolls out new “third space”-style charging stations. The company continues to improve the on-road experience, too. The update Rivian announced Wednesday allows owners of newer “Gen 2” Rivians to schedule their in-cabin climate and also offers improved highway assist functionality.
