Instruction Guide - Rivian R1T & R1S Dash Anchor

This page provides a comprehensive instruction guide for installing the dash anchor in Rivian R1T and R1S vehicles. Follow the step-by-step process to ensure secure and proper installation of the dash anchor.

Step 1

Loosen the screw to release the anchor. It does not need to be fully removed.
Step 2

On either side of the screen, slide the anchor into the channel until the bump on the anchor is positioned into the second notch behind the screen on the driver's side or the first notch behind the screen on the passenger's side.

The anchor should be tight and stable even without the screw tightened.

Important! If the anchor is not clicking into place, the anchor is either not inserted far enough behind the screen to reach the notch or the two depth adjustment screws need to be loosened so that the bump will make contact with the back of the screen.

Look behind the screen to determine if the bump is in place in the notch. See the Depth Adjustment Instructions tab ☝️ to adjust if needed.
Step 3

Tighten the screw to expand the anchor and secure it in place.

Note: If the anchor does not feel secure, go back to Step 1 and review the Important! section of Step 2. Contact support if you need help!
Step 4

Install your favorite mounts, arms, or other accessories as directed by their instructions.

For the 17mm phone mount pictured, loosen the collar, press the phone mount onto the ball mount, and tighten the collar while holding the phone mount in the desired position.

Important! Some magnetic phone mounts include an adhesive metal ring that can be attached to devices that don't natively work with magnetic mounts. Install the ring on your device or remove it from the mount so that it doesn't affect the strength of the phone connection to the mount.

Step 1

If you’re 100% sure that the bump on the anchor is properly positioned in the notch behind the screen, but the anchor still feels loose, the depth of the anchor can be adjusted to accommodate a larger than typical space between the screen and dash.

Important! This is rarely needed, so take care not to damage the screen with excessive adjustment or force.
Step 2

If it’s installed, loosen the screw and remove the anchor from the dash.
Step 3

Loosen (lefty loosey) both of the depth adjustment screws a half turn to increase the depth by 0.4mm.
Step 4

Reinstall and check the fit by looking behind the screen to make sure the bump on the anchor is reaching either the second notch on driver's side or the first notch on passenger's side behind the screen.

Repeat Steps 2-4 as needed to fine tune the fit.
