Your iPhone can be set up to do the same thing (with either Alexa or Siri. (although smart arses can make your phone do things if you leave it unattended).

There are plenty of Youtube vids on how to do it.tiglon wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 8:48 pmThat is genius. I'm assuming you can power the dot through usb port? Would it work in the glove box?

As long as you fix the Dot where you can talk to it, it works fine. Try it in several places and see what works for you. I have mine on the bulkhead b/w the seats. Yes you have to turn your head but it's close so it picks up your voice easy and there is little wiring b/w that and the connections in the arm rest

It took me a few attempts to set up so the Dot, car and the phone acting as a hotspot to all speak to each other but once it does, it works fine.

Thanks Nanu, this morning I realised/discovered that I have Google Assistant on my phone so I turned it on and tested it in the car. Voice commands work fine even with the phone in my pocket while driving. Going to get a wireless charging magnetic phone holder so I can have my phone neatly on display (useful for googlemaps when the BMW nav doesn't cut it and I might use MHD or similar in future so may want info on display). I came close to doing MMI or Android touchscreen but I'd rather spend the money on other modifications and I have been spending way too much recently!
