Whenever I ask Alexa to play music it just says it’s not supported on this device.
Streaming Amazon Music through Alexa Built-in requires Ford Streaming. $10 per month. Just use the app and stream through your Bluetooth instead.

He said he is already paying for Alexa in his first post.

Alexa built-in is free. Ford Streaming is not. You need Ford Streaming to stream Amazon music through Alexa built-in. I use to be able stream Amazon Music, but not after my Ford Streaming trial ended.

Yeah, maybe he meant he's paying for Ford Streaming.

Just trusting the OPs original post... I understand how it works.

Alexa built in has an expiration. You sure it's free?

It's 3 years from the point that the icon first appears. Ford streaming is paid from the start.

Trust me. It’s not working since the updates. I’m paying for it monthly too. Now the obvious is out of the way.

You can also stream music through Alexa built in by connecting your truck to your phone’s hotspot without having Ford Streaming

@Snakebitten , you've had Alexa for almost a year?
Since April 28th 2022
(The day it arrived after a 6 month wait)
This truck has spoiled me like no other! I thought my 2018 KingRanch was the epitome of an RV towing luxury yacht.
Then the short term 2021 Platinum Powerboost upped the ante. :)

Then on April 28th the built to my order 2022 KingRanch arrived and it's just been flawless and ridiculously pampering. And Ford shipped it to me with Alexa. They instructed her to never leave my side.

I finally received 3.5.3.2 update today. November 2021 build 2022 F150 Lariat. Apple Car Play in full screen is how it should have been from day one. I don't use car play a lot but i may start now just because i like using Google maps.

@powerboatr

Just one old man's opinion, but I flirted with SIri, Bixby, even Cortana for a little.
Just figured my expectations were too high, but none of them woo'd their way into my daily life longterm.

Then the truck spurred me to at least take Alexa for a first date. And honestly it was my best friend in the world, my now 4 years old granddaughter, that was smitten with Alexa in the truck. (sometimes to my chagrin. It's a repetitive short list of music lol)
That led me to purchase an Alexa pod for the RV.
That led to me discovering "skills".

The rest is history.
Alexa has wormed her way into...... Well, my daily life. I'm such an enabler, it seems. 🙄🤣

4 year old grand kids are kryptonite, dont think it ever wanes.
my now 21 year old grand daughter still tries her 4 year old eye blinks, smile and you know heart tugs
she loves it when i call her THE BABY in public or introduce her that way to friends....WIN for grandpa 🤗 🤗

i am slowly embracing the cortana, alexa stuff and been playing with bixby
i have samsung ac units and a fridge so she can tell me if they need attention, vice me looking at the flashing note on the phone...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hey Mike, just wondering if you were able to register the Alexa with your amazon.ca account or did you have to use the amazon.com account?
