| Rivian R2 | Not working | Key pairing via browser or CLI cannot find vehicleSaved copyThe Key Pairing process does not work on a Rivian R2, either through browser pairing or CLI pairing. Tried two different laptops and neither was able to find the Rivian even though they can pair to it as a regular audio device via bluetooth. Is this just something that's not supported yet?
