The seamless integration brings the familiar Alexa experience into the vehicle and provides natural voice interaction with Pivi Pro features including navigation, media playback, phone calls, and compatible smart devices.

The engineering teams from Jaguar Land Rover and Amazon worked in close partnership to ensure the seamless integration of Alexa with Pivi Pro. This collaborative approach to development ensures customers will enjoy the same Alexa experience in their vehicles that they already know and love from home, and benefit from even greater functionality in the future.

Alexa understands commonly-used commands, making the experience intuitive to use – this makes it easy for customers to operate commonly used functions while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Requests such as ‘Alexa, navigate me home’, ‘Alexa, play my chill-out playlist’ and ‘Alexa show me nearby coffee shops’ can all be done by voice, without touching the infotainment touchscreen. Alexa also enables customers to check the news, the weather and manage their schedule or shopping list, just by asking.

More than 200,000 existing owners globally of models fitted with Pivi Pro will also be able to benefit from the new technology thanks to software-over-the-air (SOTA) updates. These updates – offered at no cost to customers – showcase how Jaguar Land Rover’s SOTA technology can enable customers to enjoy the latest technological developments without having to visit their retailer.
