I've managed to get the Alexa app to connect so i can instruct Alexa in the house to open car etc.
But i cant get the car whilst driving to respond to "Alexa" or even pressing the speech button and trying?
Im obviously missing a step? or it simply wont work.
Anyone had any success?
Nope....and I haven't seen any posts from UK owners saying they have. Maybe with the 11/20.xx updates or some future update!
Ive been on with online Genius, apparently it is there but not working. Due to C19 work stopped on the server and isn't up and running, it will be available in due course
I'm not going mad then
I have been following Alexa in the car for ages. Literally nobody knows anything. My dealer is very frustrated by the fact that after an announcement on BMW global site, an upgrade to the MyBMW app and the BMW YouTube video still nothing.

The facts are: the uk backend system is still broken but it will be back Feb 21. You will need 2020/11 software when it comes.

The whole farce has driven me mad.
