How to use Alexa with Ford SYNC 4
The Ford brand is known for its cutting-edge technologies, and its latest innovation is the integration of Amazon Alexa with the Ford SYNC 4. This allows drivers to use their voice to control a variety of features in their vehicle, including navigation, music and more, while enjoying the benefits of this personal assistant.
How to integrate Alexa
It couldn't be easier! To get started, download the Ford + Alexa app to your smartphone, and log in using your Amazon account information. Once connected, connect your phone to your Ford vehicle's SYNC 4 system as you normally would. Then simply say "Alexa," followed by a command to control your vehicle.
Alexa, do this!
The list of commands understood by Alexa is almost endless. Of course, your new in-car assistant understands traditional commands. You can ask her to play your travel playlist, and she'll launch your favourite tunes. Alexa can also guide you; just ask her for directions to the nearest cafe, and you'll have all the details in your navigation system. Finally, Alexa is also used to control other functions of your vehicle, such as the climate control system and the sunroof. You can also add the subscription-based Ford Streaming option, which lets you use your streaming player apps for your favourite podcasts or your must-have audiobooks.
Assistant for the home
Integrating Alexa into your Ford vehicle also adds another amazing element: it can communicate with your personal assistant in the home and control your smart appliances. Just say, "Alexa, turn off the lights in the living room" or "Turn down the thermostat," and everything will be executed right from the comfort of your vehicle. Alexa is also an endless mine of information, as the assistant can check traffic conditions, get weather updates and set reminders.
