What is Alexa Built-in?
Alexa Built-in enables Alexa voice commands in your vehicle. You can ask Alexa to perform a variety of tasks like find the nearest fuel station, call mum, and even control smart home features* all from your driver's seat.
If Listen to the Wake Word is turned on in your vehicle, simply say the wake word (Alexa) and then the question or command. Or, if Listen to the Wake Word is not turned on, press the Push to Talk button on the steering wheel. After the tone, you must still say “Alexa” and then the question or command.
