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."
Apple Music
With Connect+, Rivian drivers with an Apple Music subscription can stream a library of over 100 million songs and thousands of playlists from anywhere, always ad-free. Thanks to a significant collaboration between the teams at Apple and Rivian, this experience is deeply integrated into our software platform, and enables listeners to easily search and browse through Apple Music's catalog and playlists, enjoy access to its global live-streaming radio stations and more.
