Alexa, open the pod bay doors
Alexa, Shirley you can't be serious

Alexa does seem to be faster than the Ford assistant or Siri but it asks me to turn on Bluetooth to make phone calls. Is it possible to have both Apple Play and Bluetooth connected at the same time?

No that’s a limitation of CarPlay, you can use Siri to make phone calls

if you connect Fordpass to Alexa, You can say Alexa ask Fordpass my range and many other things its cool how they work together. I think you can say Alexa ask Fordpass to start my car but I didnt try that yet

Someone tell me why I want Alexa in my vehicle? What can it do that the Ford voice command system can't?

I don't have any Alexa-type devices in my house, I don't want them in my car either unless there is a compelling reason for it. And video streaming ain't it, I will never use that in any circumstances.

Then you can choose to not activate it. Plenty of features on the car most people don't use or do use, it's your choice. Also it's much faster than Ford Assistant fwiw.

I understand that I don't have to activate it, I'm asking for a reason TO activate it. Faster, OK, one thing to consider...

I read this in Dwight Schrute's voice.

ah I think I missed the permission to allow it to control car functions. when I tried it, she did nothing to control stuff on the car. IMHO that's the only advantage of Alexa in our cars (unless you're really invested in the Amazon ecosystem and do everything with Alexa).

Alexa is faster and more accurate than Ford's voice assistant by far, it's language model and audio tuning for speech input is much better -- but it kept telling me it didn't understand how to raise the temperature.

As others have said, you can have Siri and Alexa (or The Assistant if you're a green bubble) both listening at the same time. Siri uses your iPhone's mic for its wakeword, and Alexa is using the car's mics.
