Alexa in Z4
Has anyone seen the post on BMWblog.com about Alexa integration in BMW cars? They also had a YouTube video. Integrated, similar to Spotify, not over the phone.
The video showed the older BMW OS, so I figured this surely works on our cars as well? But couldn’t get it enabled. The option is simply not there - requires account linking through the BMW Connected mobile app. Or is this available for specific cars or countries only? |

I have the Alexa skill enabled, and I use it just as a party trick.
"Alexa, ask BMW how much fuel I have left" "Alexa, ask BMW if my doors are unlocked" etc... |

I got the impression that we can enable Alexa inside the car, press the microphone button and use Alexa (just like the BMW assistant). See this how to video: Demo at 1:40 - completely integrated into the car. |

According to this, the G29 Z4 does not have the Alexa in-car integration. https://www.amazon.com/alexa-auto/b?...de=17744356011
