Alexa…

I decided to extend my BMW service package in the Black Friday sales which turned out a bargain. Just €230 for both my cars (G30 and F46), until 2024 or 160k km's whichever comes first. A fraction compared to what you normally pay!

However I was lured into their other discounts and upgraded my ConnectedDrive package for an extra 30eur and ended up with Alexa!

However, I find it's very limited, which is a shame.

Can anyone share what functionality is removed when driving? I've also found it's necessary to build routines to make some devices work, such as my Ring Alarm which I can now enable by voice as I drive away. (Brilliant).

Any other ideas, tips to manage the given limitations of the system?
