Install a comma device in a Rivian R1S or R1T
Put the truck fully to sleep, plug the harness into the module behind the passenger footwell, then install stock openpilot first.
You need
- A comma four or 3X with the Rivian harness
- Torx T20, flathead, trim tool and a 13 mm deep socket
- Fifteen to twenty minutes for the truck to fall asleep
In plain words
Why this guide matters
Plugging a comma harness into an awake Rivian has switched off Driver+ for several owners. This guide shows how to put the R1S or R1T to sleep, reach the footwell module and fit the harness. It then tells you to install stock openpilot first, before trying sunnypilot for speed control.
The short version
What the full guide walks you through
Turn off Gear Guard, lock the truck with a door ajar and walk away.
Remove the passenger footwell panel to reach the module.
Pull the white connector and slide the comma harness in.
Wake the truck, connect the device and install stock openpilot.
Switch to sunnypilot later if you want speed control.
Before you start
- Plugging in while awake has switched off Driver+ for some owners.
- The 3X needs the 8-degree mount; the comma four works better with it too.
