I’m getting this error now too. I think it might be a server side issue as also cannot send a destination to the car from the MyBMW app.

Mine says this (photo attached). It normally installs straight away.

Just a waiting game now I guess?

Although I did have issues initially it has worked without error for two weeks so keeping my fingers crossed.

Strangley.... Alexa Integration appears to have disappeared from my iPhone after I was forced to log back in (after an app update maybe?)... but appeared on my Android phone!

Not going to rush out and test it, as quite frankly, fear it may be a total waste of time.

I've had this [Alexa] without error for a couple of weeks now. There was an update to the iOS "MyBMW" app today which has given better pre-conditioning scheduling but at the same time broken the map. Anyone else having that issue? Doesn't matter really, not having map on the phone app, but makes you wonder who (if anyone) does any bug testing...

haha. This is so random. So on my iPhone, the maps are all still good, but the Alexa Integration has disappeared from the profile screen. On my Android, I now have Alexa options, but the maps are buggered up.

Same for me, all roads now missing, but main roads visible when traffic view enabled due to traffic flow.

Very annoying.

Still no Alexa as I have had 11/2020.45 for a while but no updates to a version that supports Alexa which I believe is 11/2020.50 or higher.
