However, it is largely plagued by connectivity/sign-in problems, bugs, and reliability issues, and cannot be used alongside Apple CarPlay, which many users deem a dealbreaker. Some praise exists when the app works, including in-car entertainment and family-friendly features, but overall experience is inconsistent, with compatibility problems across different vehicles and frequent instability. ### Pros - Provides a safe in-car Alexa experience, reducing the need to use your phone while driving when it works. - Integrates Alexa into the car for voice control of music and features. - Shows the currently playing track and offers an improved interface when the app functions. - Useful for music playback and family-friendly in-car activities (games) when the experience is working. ### Cons - Cannot run with Apple CarPlay simultaneously; CarPlay must be disabled to use Alexa. - Frequent connectivity and pairing issues, including sign-in problems and failure to connect despite following instructions. - Sign-in requirements to Amazon and related account issues hinder usability. - Instability and bugs: freezes, crashes, and unreliable behavior, especially after updates. - Compatibility limitations with certain vehicle models or configurations; not universally reliable. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Lincoln+Alexa](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1316029168) — 4.00 / 5 - [Amazon Alexa](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id944011620) — 4.50 / 5 - [Ford™](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1095418609) — 4.80 / 5 - [Roav VIVA](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1289145239) — 4.70 / 5 - [Sync: Ford Car Play Connect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6447566962) — 4.60 / 5 - [iSimple Connected Car](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1472265703) — 2.00 / 5 - [Smart Alexa：Voice Commands](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6737849105) — 4.90 / 5 - [Smart Alexa : Voice Commands](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6740405580) — 4.90 / 5 - [Vozsis with Alexa](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1446730558) — 2.70 / 5 - [Bill Cole Ford Connect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6464423144) — 3.00 / 5 - [ALM Ford Connect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6751079734) - [Aud Click by iLuv](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1137014137) — 1.70 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1316029395)
