Amazon Music

[paulus]

I have logged by Trophy successfully into Amazon Music (my home account) and the infotainment centre correctly presents Amazon Music touch options, but I wish to use voice commands (like at home "Alexa play xxxx"), but I fail to manage this. Any advice on how to to get voice commands to work?

Have you tried search, top right, enter voice commands in text box, change to this forum and see if anything jumps out?

 

[paulus]

Yes. But alas nothing turned up for using the car's voice commands relayed to Amazon Music (eg "Alexa play some Neil Diamond")

I had a quick try this morning and found you can say "Play on-line music" and it will bring up Amazon Music. I couldn't get it to choose a play list but you can say "Play next track" and it will do so.
I'll have another go later.

I've seen no mention at all of Alexa within the car, usually you have to agree to T&C's and agree to set up Alexa if you use it on a device.

I think Amazon Music (via infotainment) is only controllable via touch buttons and the MG voice commands (Next Song, Skip Song etc.

Via Android Auto it may work though through your phone with Alexa voice commands, really can't say as I haven't tried it.

You could try plugging an Echo Dot into the USB A port and connect it to the cars wifi hotspot and play Amazon music via bluetooth.

Thanks guys. It looks like I was expecting too much, maybe just select something to listen to then use voice for "next song" etc as suggested by CarlMG4.

A single right click on the right steering wheel joystick is next track, much quicker than asking

I agree, and it also stops unruly passengers from realising they can change your song without you being able to do anything about it

How did you activate your Amazon feature? I have Trophy 23 plate and can’t seem to figure it out??

Have you signed into Amazon music using your Amazon Prime account?

 

[preeya]

I don’t know how to sign into off the screen?

 

[Ian Key]

As far as I can remember, go to Amazon Music on the infotainment screen and tap the head and shoulders icon to the right of the search box which should bring up the login screen.

I don’t seem to have that option on my infortainment screen. Does the phone have to be plugged in and car play have to be on for this to work??

I've just noticed from your profile you drive an MG ZS. This is the MG4 forum so you might be better posting on the ZS forum.

Amazing music, appears to be no longer available on newer ZS’
