BMW i5 Alexa Integration?

[okeko1254]

Hey folks! Got a quick question - anyone know if the BMW i5 is rocking Alexa integration, or if that’s something they’re planning to roll out later? I’ve heard some BMWs have Alexa built right in, so just curious if it’ll be a thing for iDrive 8.5. Appreciate any intel!

Yep, it totally works with i5! Just hit up the third-party software section in the app, and it'll send you to a webpage. There’s no Alexa button in the app itself, so just set it up through iDrive.

In my i5 xDrive40, I was able to connect the Amazon Account, but in the MY BMW app it says "not supported" and it doesn't seem to be working in the car itself? Any clues/information out there?

Lucky you it is supported on i5. Work great actually!

FYI, you can currently pair the BMW with only one Alexa device.
