Have you heard the latest good news about what is arriving soon at our dealership? General Motors recently announced that they will be bringing Amazon Alexa to millions of GM vehicles later this year, granting convenient services when you are driving to your favorite destinations. GM is looking to expand in-car safety features for everyone to enjoy. The Amazon Alexa voice is going to be added to the model year 2018 and newer cars, trucks, crossovers, and SUV models with compatible infotainment systems*. The sales team at Tom Ahl Buick GMC could not be happier about the news, and we invite you to stop by our dealership today for more details about the powerful Amazon Alexa GM experience.

"GM's updatable app framework and vehicle connectivity let us provide customers with new technologies that enhance the ownership experience, even to customers with vehicles that are already on the road," said Santiago Chamorro, General Motors Vice-President for Global Connected.

As you turn the ignition of your Amazon Alexa GM vehicle, this fantastic experience will grant you access to voice commands to not only help you finish tasks but to also not be distracted while driving. There are several different categories where Amazon Alexa can help you as you get to your destination. If you need to get directions to our lunch spot or a work assignment, you can ask Alexa for directions. GM integrates Amazon Alexa with compatible navigation systems in the vehicle or the available OnStar Turn-By-Turn navigation.

When you want to listen to that song you can't get out of your head, check the news, listen to audiobooks or podcasts, Alexa can bring up streaming services. If you want to make a phone call, drivers can ask Alexa to call family, friends, and your boss when your phone is paired via Bluetooth, and you can also share contacts with Amazon. You can also use voice command to get simple tasks done, including controlling smart home devices and add items to your shopping lists. The Amazon Alexa GM integration opportunities are endless, and here at Tom Ahl Buick GMC, we are excited about giving that opportunity to GM enthusiasts.
