Have you tried Alexa in SEAT? I have seen commercials, and they do very basic stuff like news, weather, purchase on Amazon, asking jokes..

Does it has any integration with car's system, if in your knowledge?

When I was in the US earlier this year, I used a Garmin dashcam which had Alexa features + added Alexa skills for Garmin to control the dashcam. i.e. "hey Alexa, ask Garmin to record time lapse". Or "hey Alexa, ask Garmin to navigate to ...". But unfortunately it stopped working after I came back to Europe. (Waiting for Alexa to launch in Spain)

It's available now for SEAT vehicles that have WLAN connectivity. The Nav high option needed to have been spec'd.

SEAT announced that it would also would be available on MY19 vehicles, which suggests that they've upgraded the standard infotainment unit to include WLAN. Yet to be confirmed though.

It's currently only available through the media control app with Android. There are plans for it to come to ios later.

At this stage Alexa doesn't integrate with the cars internal systems.

However SEAT have hinted about better voice control for the MK4's internal systems next year - they didn't comment on whether it would be Alexa though.
