Anyone else not able to control Apple Music with voice control through Alexa? We can control Apple Music through our Alexa devices in our house, but the Alexa in our car tells us the function is not available.

Is this a me problem or is this a Rivian thing?

“Alexa, play ‘Monster Mash’ on Apple Music” launches Alexa into a long explanation that Apple Music is not supported by Alexa.

Rivian thing. It would be great to have this though.

Thanks! Agree that it would be great to have.

Not a software person, but seems like the integration would be simple enough since it exists between other Alexa-enabled devices and Apple Music.

I think this may get mean that they need Amazon to do some work.

Alexa is pretty worthless, and you can still use Siri in the car anyway, with or without CarPlay.

Unfortunately the Alexa issue has been there since the Apple Music came to Rivian. To my knowledge Rivian hasn’t even acknowledged the issue and I have no idea if this will ever get fixed. Alexa isn’t perfect but I love the ability to swap songs with voice control like I was able to do with Spotify. I get Alexa Isn’t perfect but its far safer than trying to type on a touch screen while driving.

I say "Hey Siri next song" many times on every drive.

@SwampNut You are using Bluetooth audio source right? I don't believe that "Hey Siri" works to skip to next track when using Apple Music Native App on Rivian screen.

Oh, yes, correct. I gave up on using it on screen and didn't buy Connect+ because it's just broken. None of the software updates has fixed it.
