Heat blasted by itself?

2026 Ranger XLT
I'll try and recall what I did and what happened.
Trying out voice commands:
Ok Google what time is it?
Beep but no response.
Tried this like 3 times.
Then Alexa what time is it?
Answers with time
Tried Google again and thus time it answered with time but... Then heater jumped to like 80 degrees!?

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else

This sounds like a system conflict in the truck.

The voice system is trying to use more than one assistant at the same time. Google and Alexa can both send commands through the infotainment system.

The heater change to 80 degrees can happen if:

* A voice command was misread
* A shortcut command was triggered
* The system lagged and ran an old command

What to try:

* Turn off Alexa integration in the truck settings
* Use only Google or only Alexa, not both
* Reset the infotainment system
* Check for software update
* Delete voice command history and set it up again

If it keeps happening, do a full system reset at the dealer.
