I've done the weather lol. Typically I know that before I get in the truck though. I have a lot of automation set up for lights and stuff already so turning things on via her in the truck isn't as useful as one would think.

Is yours a 2021 or a 2022? I don't remember seeing it in mine but I guess I'll have to check.

I believe it is built into the '22s with the 12" stack. '22 Tremor 402A here, it was built in and just required a code to activate in my amazon account. Basically it is just another digital assistant available for your truck, you can use it to find places and start navigation, or play music from amazon.

Maybe I am wrong. I thought I saw it in there before. There are several articles talking about it. Ford does have an app for it too. https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos...a-with-sync-4/

Okay I see its a separate app downloaded to your phone. The way you were talking I thought it was right in the sync system.

In my 22 it is built right into the sync radio. There was a small Alexa icon, you press it and it walks you through the setup to connect the truck through the app on your phone.

It wasn’t a stand alone mechanical button or module, or a app that had to be downloaded to sync. Was already there.

Under what menu or option? I combed through everything on my 21 and didn't see it.

Originally it was at the top of the 12inch center stack, nearest the passenger side temp and the connected vehicle icon. It was the blue alexa circle. After it was set up, that alexa circle went away however and anything related to alexa settings are buried in the menu. Next time I go out to the truck, I will figure out where it is.

You would have thought they would have left the icon up there as a quick shortcut to the settings, but they did not.

So I took a look and its under settings, on the second page. Box that says Amazon Alexa with the blue circle in it.
