Do you frequently leave the lights on or forget to lock your car? Soon these troubles will be a distant memory with Amazon Alexa. Nissan recently announced that this smart-home technology will be available on the 2018 Pathfinder, as well as the Armada and Leaf.

Amazon Alexa is truly revolutionizing the automotive industry by giving drivers control over certain connected-car functions with the sound of their voice. With this technology, Nissan owners can lock and unlock doors, honk the horn, flash the lights and start or stop the engine. All they have to say is, "Alexa, ask NissanConnect Services to...", followed by the command – and voila!

Brilliant!
Alexa is already available on many 2016-2017 model year Nissans, including the Altima, GT-R, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, Sentra and Titan. But, this extension to the 2018 Pathfinder, Armada and Leaf vehicles is certainly a welcomed addition, especially for drivers in the Pacific Northwest who rely on remote start during the winter.
