After bringing the new vehicle (25 LWB 7 Seater) home for several days, following a complete PPF and ceramic coating, I am finally able to get the Alexa function to perform after encountering numerous network problem signals initially. Today, I utilised several fundamental capabilities, including navigating home and controlling the lights, through Alexa.

However, I was unable to command Alexa to adjust the vehicle's temperature or activate the heated seats. However, employing the speech capability via Pivi Pro demonstrated efficacy for these instructions.


Finally, I successfully utilised other, occasionally overlapping features (e.g., navigating home) with Siri using Apple CarPlay.

This prompts me to consider the most beneficial voice commands that enhance driving ease, functionality, and safety utilising the many accessible voice command systems (Alexa, Pivi, and Siri).

My voice activation keyword is "Jeeves," which may be useful.

I utilise Carplay regularly while driving. I utilise Alexa solely for activating home automation when I near our residence, given that the majority of our home equipment are integrated with Alexa.
I have not utilised the integrated voice commands for the vehicle; perhaps I should commence doing so. Thus far, it has exclusively utilised the Pivi screen interface

Thank you for conveying your insights and experiences. I have learnt that utilising the built-in navigation system via PiviPro, as opposed to Carplay or Android Auto, enables the PiviPro system to learn your favourite routes.

Has anyone genuinely encountered this learning capability in Pivo?

I exclusively utilise CarPlay.

I utilised Pivi once to adjust the temperature, and it functioned effectively; but, it is more convenient to simply flip the knob for temperature adjustments, which are infrequently required, on my 2023 model.

Some individuals lack knobs entirely. I will attempt to utilise the voice commands for heating and cooling to assess their effectiveness.

Kindly inform us of your findings. Please share any tips you may discover.
