This is my white whale - having native Alexa support in the car to check things in the home, turn off, turn on, etc - without relying on geo-fencing or scheduled automation, but voice activated.
Unfortunately, my car manuf date was 2 months prior to their adding support for Alexa (not sure if that was ID7 lite...)
I enjoy the convenience that the Echo units offer (after turning off some of the intrusive spying like features)
Siri is kinda shit compared to the other assistants (it's getting better, but it's still poop) - however, as a best of both worlds scenario, currently for me on ID6, short tap of the microphone button gives me BMW's assistant (which is limited in ID6), and a long press gives me Siri for calls etc through CarPlay.
My biggest pet peeve is my alarm company not having CarPlay support. And I don't think I can order ahead using the Dunkin app.
