'21 F-150 Alexa Update?

[mhoffman54]

So now that the '22s have been out for a while, I have noticed that Alexa is officially built in to all the ones that I've seen. Has anyone with a '21 gotten the update that adds Alexa? I'm currently on 2.3.0 and have no Alexa. I'm curious if they've started rolling that out yet, and what PowerUp version adds it?

I have a Job 1 2021 that's fully up to date with BC and I do not have Alexa anywhere in my Sync.

I believe that's just the app. Ford will be releasing a version that's integrated. The app version is kind of useless. You have to have the app open to use it. With the integrated version you'll just say "Alexa" like the home version.

Unfortunately, that's not what I'm looking for. That version of Alexa has been around for years, and is downloadable from your phones app store. In an upcoming update (which they announced May of last year), they will be replacing Ford's built in voice assistant with Alexa. You'll know you have it when the Alexa logo shows in the status bar at the top of your screen, next to where it shows your wifi and connected vehicle status. It was supposed to be coming in the fall. It's already on the '22s, but I haven't seen it on a '21 yet.
