INTERIOR – THE NEW RANGE ROVER AND AMAZON ALEXA
The engineering teams from Jaguar Land Rover and Amazon worked in close partnership to ensure the seamless integration of Alexa with Pivi Pro. This collaborative approach to development ensures that customers will enjoy the same Alexa experience in their vehicles that they already know and love from home, and benefit from even greater functionality in the future.
The Alexa voice experience is intuitive to use, making it easy for customers to operate while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
Requests such as ‘Alexa, navigate me to home’, ‘Alexa, play my chill‑out playlist’ and ‘Alexa show me nearby coffee shops’ can all be done by voice, without touching Pivi Pro’s touchscreen. Alexa also enables customers to check the news, the weather and manage their schedule or shopping list, just by asking.
The seamless integration of Amazon Alexa with our Pivi Pro infotainment system gives customers simple, intuitive voice control of regularly used features, making the driving experience even more enjoyable. The fact we can also offer this new feature to existing customers proves the value of our software‑over‑the‑air‑updates.

Alexa was first revealed on the New Range Rover and will now be offered across the portfolio of Land Rover vehicles equipped with the Pivi Pro infotainment system. More than 165,000 existing owners of Land Rover models fitted with Pivi Pro will also be able to benefit from the new technology thanks to a software‑over‑the‑air (SOTA) update. The update showcases how Land Rover’s SOTA technology can enable customers to enjoy the latest technological developments without having to visit their Retailer.
Set‑up is easy: all customers have to do is link Alexa to their InControl6 account by scanning a QR code on the Pivi Pro touchscreen and then follow a few simple steps.
Land Rover Remote Skill for Alexa
Skills are like apps that help you do more with Alexa. Land Rover Alexa customers in the UK and US will be able to control and check on their vehicle wherever they are using the Land Rover Remote Skill and any Alexa‑enabled device. ‘Alexa, ask Land Rover to start the climate’, ‘Alexa, ask Land Rover if my car is fully charged’, ‘Alexa, ask Land Rover to check my range’, or ‘Alexa, ask Land Rover if my doors are locked’ are just some of the features customers can access.
In addition to Pivi Pro, this functionality is also available to customers in these markets with vehicles equipped with the Touch Pro infotainment system.
