Unlike plenty of others on here, my infotainment system and online services have worked pretty well since day one (2021 build week 8 car). That means I was able to install Alexa from the store as soon as it became available.
my problem though is it seems completely pointless! I use Alexa in my home and have it connected to my Nest heating controller, so I know some of the possibilities. I have so far found absolutely no use whatsoever for it in my car. The only thing I thought might be moderately useful is asking Alexa to play songs from Spotify. This works in the house, but the car says sorry the function is not available. The Siri and car play integration works well and does this well anyway.
Am I missing something? Has anyone used it for anything moderately useful/ fun/ interesting?
