Noticed since I got the Y168 Infotainment update (dealer installed), I now have a few additional apps available in the Play Store, as well as Alexa App native.
Have not yet played w/ Alexa (I am not a user of that assistant at home, use the Google Assistant).
The Play store now has additional apps available too. Was able to download and install Waze native on the Infotainment unit, and its navigation instructions show on the HUD and in the Nav pane of the instrument cluster. Previous to this update, Waze was only available via Car Play or Android Auto...and did not provide nav info on the HUD...so I consider this a win for my favorite nav app!
There is also a Weather and Radar app, which shows a map, weather conditions in your area, and radar and cloud info; but it seems to be a bit buggy...sometimes times out or gives a "waiting" message...so while this had promise, it seems to be not working well right now.
I will caution, and it is posted over at this thread in the 2021+ General Discussion forum, this update brings some bugs to the Auto HVAC controls; which I am finding quite annoying right now.
