Ford+Alexa

Bring Ford+Alexa with You on the Road: Access to Alexa in your Ford is now as easy as connecting your phone, starting the Ford+Alexa app and speaking to Alexa. Even with road noise, Alexa listens and provides you with the same information and access to Skills and features as you can get with an Echo in your home. Alexa’s familiar voice and responses then play through your vehicle’s speakers. You can access thousands of Alexa skills and services that Echo customers already enjoy. Pump yourself up on the way to the gym by saying, “Alexa, play my workout playlist.” Continue the book you were listening to, even during your commute to work. Check whether you have dinner plans on the drive home by asking, “Alexa, what’s on my calendar tonight?” Introducing Alexa Capabilities for Your Vehicle

With the latest technology advancements, you can now bring the convenience of Alexa into your vehicle. This means you can access most of the same capabilities you have at home, right from the driver's seat. From controlling your smart home devices to ordering pizza, checking the weather, and even getting updates on your favorite sports teams, Alexa has got you covered.


Effortless Navigation with Alexa

One of the most useful features of Alexa in your vehicle is its ability to provide navigation assistance. Simply ask Alexa for a point of interest (POI) and it will seamlessly hand off the information to your onboard navigation system or your phone. This means you can get turn-by-turn directions without having to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road.


Endless Entertainment Options

With access to Amazon Music, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio, you can now use Alexa to play your favorite tunes while on the go. You can easily skip, fast forward, rewind, play, and pause songs, all with simple voice commands. And with the vehicle's display showing artist, song, and album art information, you can enjoy a complete music experience without any distractions.


Requirements for Using Alexa in Your Vehicle

In order to use Alexa in your vehicle, you will need to have SYNC 3 Software Version 2.2 or higher. You can check the Software Version on the SYNC 3 touchscreen by going to Settings > General > About SYNC. The top line will display the current Software Version (SYNC 3, Software Version: X.X).
