Hi all
so, trying to get Alexa working on the new Z without any luck.

Followed various guides but the sticking point seems to be in the (Android) My BMW app it says "Not Supported" next to the picture of the car on the Alexa integration page. The app has connected to the amazon account ok but that does not seem to help.

Anyone else had problems - it's a Nov 2019 M40i
Thanks

Looks like 11/2022.31 ... kicked off a search for upgrades but looks like it takes a while ...

I'm running the latest software (11/2023?). I had a look in my car yesterday and all the install instructions are there. IIRC Alexa support was added some time last year so your software release could very well be the problem.
