Alexa Usage

[P2]

Any of you guys using Alexa in your Mustangs? Is it worth it to use or a hassle? I use to have an Amazon acct but closed it because of all of their BS that they support. Just wondering using Alexa is an advantage or is it better to do without. Please advise... Thanks in advance!

Ha! That is neat. I didn't know Alexa was integrated in the new models. Cool. Now you can shop and speed down the highway at the same time. The future is here! LOL
IDK I don't really use voice command functions anyway on my cars, I would never use it but I think for a lot of folks it would be a handy piece of technology.

Nope. Made sure to turn that spyware off.

I use Alexa to play music, help navigate (you can ask her to navigate to a site and she sets it up in the navigation for you), find out weather, sports scores….etc while driving. Personally, I really like having “her” there. Nice feature is that because she has access to the screen, she often brings up graphics in her responses.

I decided to try it and it is nice to get things like the weather. Road reports (now that Sirius doesn't have them) can be nice but she is finicky about how you ask for them.
What I can't figure out is how to change the address she uses. Apparently she is using an address for my office that is 8 years old. I can't find any way to change it - tried it on my phone in the Alexa app but she is not using that new address. And I can't find any way to change it online.

I'm a fan of it. Being able to bring up a specific song or band to play is a very nice feature.

I try to avoid using Amazon these days so there is no way I'll use Alexa.

I haven't set my car up yest but I thought there was a ford voice command that would do many things, I'd look into that.
