Alexa Built-In: An Enhanced Offering

We are on a mission to provide customers with a range of appealing options related to how they choose to interact with their connected world. SYNC 4/4A with Enhanced Voice Recognition already offers all sorts of connected benefits, including the always helpful Ford Assistant. Now there is a new option, Alexa Built-In, offering two levels of engagement that let Ford and Alexa owners further connect to their world in enhanced ways.

NEW Alexa Built-In

In addition to Ford Assistant and building on Alexa Skill, the new Alexa Built-In service provides yet another new way for customers to interact with their vehicle. Alexa Built-In provides a two-way communication path, allowing owners to:

• Use their Alexa in-home system to interact with their vehicle
• Use Alexa Bult-In in their vehicle to interact with climate, navigation and radio/media controls, plus their connected world and home

Wake Word

Alexa Built-In is activated and responds to owner requests after they:

• Speak a “wake word”. Such as “Alexa” or
• Press the Push-to-Talk (PPT) button on the steering wheel and say “Alexa”

To activate and control “wake word” settings, simply go to the vehicle’s touchscreen and select “Settings,” then “Alexa Built-In.”

Two Levels of Service

From the factory, Alexa Built-In includes a 3-year service period of base features and a 30-day trial period of Ford Streaming services.
