Ford + Alexa

I don't know about you but I love that you can have Amazon Prime Alexa in my 2017 F250. It is easy to set up and I can play anything I want. Love it!

Easy to set up? How about a brief description for those of us who are technically challenged!

It's just an app you download on your phone. Your phone will have to be plugged in using usb and the app would need to be running on your phone. The downside is the app will constantly be running on your phone whenever you disconnect it, unless you hard killed the app. Neat feature, but not worth the hassle in my opinion.

If you are using your phone that is connected via Bluetooth you do not need to plug it in using the USB. No hassle on my side. Just download the app on your phone and go thru the set up on the app. Once you do that your radio will automatically see the app and you will have that as an option to select to play.

I haven't been able to get Ford Pass working yet but I've also not updated Sync due to the host of issues others were reporting. How'd you get it working?

This is not Ford Pass. This is another App by Ford.

The way I read it, Alexa is being integrated into Ford Pass:
Quote:
The FordPass™ Alexa skill* is now available through the Amazon Alexa app. You can now start, stop, lock, unlock, check fuel, mileage and more! Once you've added the FordPass Alexa skill to your Amazon device, you will then be able to start your vehicle remotely** by simply saying, “Alexa, ask FordPass to start my vehicle.”

That may be true for Ford Pass but I don't think that works with the F250's yet. This is a separate app. Look up "Ford+Alexa" in the app store.

I see. It appears that one integrates Alexa into Fordpass, while the other simply allows Alexa users to extend that to include their vehicle.
