Default 2016 LX570 Alexa update

Just downloaded the OTA update and upgraded the Enform in my '16 LX. Now has Alexa. I linked my phone and the Alexa app to Enform and started the Enform app. It says it is connected to my vehicle. I go to the Alexa app on the vehicle and say "Alexa". Nothing happens. I have several Alexa devices to control home automation devices in my house.

Question: Has anyone got this to work, and what am I doing wrong.

Thanks.

Alexa connectivity on the LX570 is news to me and I haven't done any OTA updates. The vehicle hasn't been driven much lately and was sitting on a trickle charger for a few months, but I'll look into it.

Press the talk button on the steering wheel and say "Alexa"

wasn’t aware of this, I’ll have to go try it. I have the Alexa car box hooked up, but the car gets confused between Siri and Alexa and will stop broadcasting through the speakers when the infotainment gets confused, having to unplug and restart,

Figured it out. Works OK. You just have to have the Enform app running on your phone, have it connected to your vehicle. You can use the vehicle voice control to switch to Alexa. You have to switch the source back to Bluetooth or Sat or other source again. Alexa can't switch the source on the vehicle. Oh well. Still nice to see updates coming for the older systems.
