Like a lot of people here it worked initially but then stopped, not sure why. Do you need to have the Bmw wifi hotpot data plan. I have the WiFi hot-spot but don't subscribe to the data plan, is that the issue?
@@Cappochinodave I have ID 7 version 11/2020, the latest My BMW app, and I have a subscription to the Connected Professional package (I have a brand new X7) - but in the Profile section of the MY BMW app I do not have the option of 3rd party services!! And therefore cannot get this working! It is SO frustrating!!
@@moonpunk Is the "Amazon Alexa" button now available in the My BMW app under "Profile"? It could still be that you need to allow the privacy settings in the vehicle. Check the vehicle menu "CAR" > "Settings" > "General settings" > "Personal assistant" > "Voice control". Remove the ticks from "Third-party provider" and "Online voice processing".
@@atharvavaidya4823 yah i know but why. And just few month bak my mobile had the app but now neither supports nor shows it both android and ios .my question is still same why bmw its just simple app and connectivity even cheaper Indian brands and ther models comes with conncetd car app isnt it?
Me either - I have iDrive 7, have updated to the latest version, have downloaded the My BMW app, but when I go to Profile I don't get the option.for 3rd Party Services??!!
I am driving the new 128ti Uk model but in my BMW app I don’t have the option to select Alexa. Are there any specification prerequisites for this to work?
You need I drive 7. Assuming you have that you have to enable the bmw skill in the Alexa app. It’s really hit and miss as to if it works. Took me ages to get it working then it suddenly stopped working so had to have a play around with it again.

I have set it up in my BMW. The only problem is that it only responds to me calling "Alexa" once every 10 times... is there any way to activate Alexa by pressing the Microphone button on the steering wheel?
Hi Esmaeil, thank you for reaching out. If you require any Amazon Alexa assistance please contact your local BMW dealer directly. They will be happy to assist.
Please check whether different languages are set for the voice control of your BMW and for Amazon Alexa on your smartphone? In the vehicle menu "Personal Assistant", you can select whether your BMW responds to the activation word "Alexa" with or without pressing the voice button on the steering wheel.
@@moonpunk There are two apps, myBMW (new app) and BMW Connected Drive app. You will find in Connected the point Hub and if you are on myBMW, you have to go to Profile -> scroll down to Third Party.

What works is that Amazon Music works with Amazon Music integration. With Spotify, I see a 50% chance - check the settings in the smartphone to see if the permissions are enabled under Smartphone Settings - Apps > Spotify? You have to bear in mind that in this case a data volume of your mobile phone contract is used. Spotify works via Connected Music - if available in your country.
+AlexJones Hi Alex, thank you for your message. If you require any technical assistance please contact your BMW dealer directly. They will be happy to assist.
Try restarting your smartphone. Then check if your internet connection is available from your smartphone. Then log out of the My BMW app once and log in again.
@@Cappochinodave I have tried everything... it works intermittently but is so glitchy and slow that it's not worth connecting. I connect my phone to the BMW WiFi but once I do, I can't stream any music because there's no Internet. I'll just wait for the update and hopefully they will have fixes whatever is going on with it.
great car! with iDrive 7 with Software Version 11/2020, but only with Option "Connected Package Professional" (SA 6C3/6C4) if it's in your country avalible
BMW has lost its way for some time now and nowhere is this more apparent than with its implementation of technology. It's quite possible to have a BMW thats infotainement will only integrate with apple but you need android to open the car! And this Alexa integration is just as poorly implemented. And now BMW make quite possibly the ugliest cars on the road...
When is it available for the U.S.?
Bmw driverz with suits unironically real
I've tried to do this several times, it just won't connect 😕
Hi @jane pls Check your Online Connection from your Smartphone and your Car.
Complaint: your tutorials channel is great but you should also specify if a feature is not on the market yet, giving a release period. Thanks 😊
Would be nice to have more features for the Google assistant
just get an android phone to use android auto
What a ridiculously ludicrous number of steps to have to take. This is like using Windows 3.1.
Nice video, thanks
BMW = Planned Obsolescence at its finest 👌🏻
It doesn't always work in my X3 so very frustrating 😡😡
Like a lot of people here it worked initially but then stopped, not sure why.
Do you need to have the Bmw wifi hotpot data plan.
I have the WiFi hot-spot but don't subscribe to the data plan, is that the issue?
Is this available in Australia? I don’t have Amazon Alexa option in my bmw app under my profile section. It’s a 2021 X3 with latest Idrive system
I have a new iX3. I don't get the option "Third-party providers" under "Online speech processing". Why?
Doesnt work with my id7 in x5 No Check box third party Provider available.

I had Alexa in my last vehicle (not a BMW), it was very temperamental. Not worth it. Has a lot to do with the wifi area you're driving through also.😏😏
Doesnt work bmw x3 30i
over 9000 steps

great car! with iDrive 7 with Software Version 11/2020, but only with Option "Connected Package Professional" (SA 6C3/6C4) if it's in your country avalible
If you drop all this excess tech trash, can you get a model without the touch screen. I hate it all!
We should start using our smart phone for keys and stop making keys for vehicles which will reduce carbon foot print.
