Ford+Alexa

[Barry S.]

Is everyone aware that there is a Ford+Alexa app available that gives you all the features of Alexa (including Amazon Music) in your vehicle? I won't try to give all the details here, but if you have Alexa in your home, I would definitely recommend looking it up online.

This has some really cool smart home implications. For those of us who have HomeKit devices I suppose it doesn’t make a difference, but we use Alexa as our hub. Really cool to be able to adjust lights or house temperature on your way home, or from your driveway.

Yeah. I believe the compatibility with the BS came out in early 2020.

Wonder if you can ask Alexa from an Echo in your home to start your Bronco. Theoretically, if the Bronco has an Alexa app and is compatible, they could implement this feature. Would be really neat.

You can start the car with Ford Pass. Not with Alexa. One great feature, if you have Amazon Music, you, can have her play just about anything.

Actually, yes you can. You have to enable the Alexa FordPass skill. Once you have done that, all you have to do is say "Alexa, ask FordPass to start my car with PIN xxxx."

I don't think you get all of the features of a home echo, like asking it questions that require google searches.
But the ability to play amazon music is a great tool. 100 times better than the crap android auto amazon music app.

I can do this with my Google Home, I imagine I could do it with Alexa too.

I was wrong. Just checked tonight and you can ask it general questions as well as addresses to locations which pop up on the screen which can be transferred over to the navigation.
Fantastic tool
