About this app

Bring Lincoln+Alexa with You on the Road: Access to Alexa in your Lincoln is now as easy as connecting your phone, starting the Lincoln+Alexa app and speaking to Alexa. Even with road noise, Alexa listens and provides you with the same information and access to Skills and features as you can get with an Echo in your home. Alexa’s familiar voice and responses then play through your vehicle’s speakers. You can access thousands of Alexa skills and services that Echo customers already enjoy. Pump yourself up on the way to the gym by saying, “Alexa, play my workout playlist.” Continue the book you were listening to, even during your commute to work. Check whether you have dinner plans on the drive home by asking, “Alexa, what’s on my calendar tonight?”

• Alexa Capabilities: You will have access to most the same capabilities as you do from home, including controlling your smart home devices, ordering pizza, checking the weather, getting your favorites sports teams scores, checking and updating your schedule and more.
• Navigation: You can ask Alexa for a point of interest (POI) and ask Alexa to navigate to the POI. Alexa will hand off the POI to the onboard navigation when equipped or to your phone to provide you with turn by turn directions.
• Entertainment: Using Amazon Music, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio you will be able use Alexa to play music (skip, fast forward, rewind, play, and pause) and even make song purchases. The vehicle’s display will show artist, song, and album art information.

Ratings and reviews

This app would be fantastic if it worked. I have my 2021 Cosair for about 3 weeks and it has worked maybe 2 times. It never shows up as an available app in the car. If it does work it maybe works for 5 mins and stops. If this app actually worked it would be fantastic. I hope they fix it. Update: still after the developer response. It does not work. Ever.

It is very good! I'm holding back one star because it is somewhat finicky. I have seen three different problems, freezes during listening, Lincoln+Alexa app won't load into applink, NAV directions sent to phone instead of SYNC 3. All these issues are intermittent and oddly go away after the car has been turned off and allowed to sit until the next drive. Then it is fine again.

' Completely froze all touch and voice controlls, totally unusable. Car is 2017 MKX with latest sync updates, phone Galaxy S7 with latest android and updates. All worked right after install but after car was powered off and restarted lost all touch and voice controlls, couldn't turn radio on or off via console controlls, couldn't answer incoming phone calls, etc. TOTALLY USELESS for me and had to uninstall from phone to get my car working again!!!!
