Sorry, I have not heard of Amazon Alexa for the 2021 F150. Like the previous post, I think you must mean Android Auto. You need to have the App on your Android phone. Mine connects wirelessly 99% of the time. Occasionally it glitches and I have to connect with a USB cable. You can also just use Bluetooth without connecting AA. The owners manual for early builds explains it pretty well starting on Page 588 (not sure of page number for later builds, but the system is the same).

Alexa Auto is an external device that can be installed into any car. It is not integrated into the F150 from Ford. OP I have one of these sitting in my basement. I have never used it but I can try to hook it up to see if the process is what you're expecting.
