She said "Remote Engine Start, Success"
My phone said "Remote Engine Start, Success"
And my car was nice and toasty when I got in.
Very nice.

I wish Amazon would expand Alexa Routines so you could type in commands. I can say commands like "watch TV" (which turns on the TV and stereo) and "watch HGTV", but I can't have a routine that does both.

If they had it, a lot of commands could be shortened, instead of having to say the "ask nissanconnectedservices ..." verbiage, just create a routine with your own phrase, like "start the car".
