Amazon Alexa for MyLink?
Just discovered that we can do this with the wifes 2017 Escape. Now I'm jealous and want an Alexa app for the Chevy MyLink! Anyone else think this would be useful?

The ability to link services and create routines with Alexa creates a huge amount of possibilities! Imagine saying "Start My Day Alexa" and part of the routine being to Remote Start your car! Even being able to ask Alexa how much gas your car has. All this tech is becoming affordable and accessible. I think it could be a huge plus for Manufacturers. Imagine the marketing opportunities to demonstrate how "smart" your car is.

Agreed...when I say “start the day”, Alexa tells me weather for today, opens living room drapes, turns on the coffee maker, the lights in bedroom and living room & the home theatre/cable.....all with 3 words...... “end the day” does same in reverse..... would be great to add starting the car......

My brother got an Alexa...Plugged it in for 1 week next to the TV. He turned on Telemundo for 1 day as a test. Now he gets ads in Spanish on his Facebook, Amazon, twitter and Instagram. No thanks! Don't need 'Big Brother' knowing how I drive... Remember it's always listening even if it has a 'Mute' switch.

Interesting about the spanish ads. Is it safe to assume the Echo's language is set to spanish, and that he speaks spanish to it as well? If it were english/english in both cases and then started getting spanish ads that would be somewhat disconcerting.

Glad to see I’m not the only security guy saying “hell no” to this technology.

I can do this with Google when my phone is plugged in and I'm connected via Android Auto. "Hey Google"... "Find nearest starbucks"... Select it on the screen and start Nav.... Or I can just say "Hey Google"... Navigate to nearest Starbucks"...

Pretty sure my car has a Google Assistant & Amazon Alexa already. I haven't had much chance to drive it since I bought it in November so I'm not sure.
