Rivian Now Supports Apple Music

Rivian has announced that its electric vehicles now support Apple Music; however, access to the streaming music service requires a new Connect+ subscription.

"More seamless entertainment is coming to your Rivian. Connect+ brings integrated streaming access to your @AppleMusic and Audible subscriptions, and when paired with Rivian Premium Audio, enjoy your favorite music and stories in @Dolby Atmos.​"
