Nirvana: Native Plexamp in my Rivian

I didn’t really know what forum to post this in, since there wasn’t one entitled “Yeah, dream on bud” – but hear me out:

Plexamp natively in the Rivian infotainment stack.

Plexamp is by far the best media player ever. The UX is phenomenal, the “DJ” stream generators are just absolutely incredible, I use them all the time. To have this as a native audio source in the Rivian UI would just be too good to be true.

Caveat emptor. I know I’m just one dude, and probably representing a 5µ thick cross section of the Plex population, but what would this really take? Rivian runs Android Automotive, I believe, which is an open source; so technically very possible. I assume the biggest barrier would be partnership / revshare with Rivian? I’m willing to bet a crowdfunding campaign would triple the engineering spend. Why can’t we have nice things?

As an R1T owner, I’m fully on board with this!

Now can someone connect me with the Rivian people to make this happen?
