Alexa & Android Auto

Hi,

I have a 2020 M340 that has software version 07/2021.40 -- installed by dealer as part of recall; car also has AT&T hot spot. I also have a Samsung S21+, running Android 11.0.

All in all, Android Auto is OK, not great, but OK -# particularly because I like to use Google maps whenever I am to drive a particular stretch of Interstate.

I have tried to get Alexa working and what I have discovered is that if I want to use Alexa, I have to not use Android Auto as it seems, both fight for Internet access-- have tried different combinations, but that is what seems to be case. Perhaps, if there was a was to have the Alexa App on my phone to be added as an app on Android Auto

Has anyone been able to use both Android Auto & Alexa? If so, how?

Thanks

Definitely not possible to use both...no different to trying to use ACP and Android Auto at the same time.
