You are not missing much (if you are still unable to get past the initial setup). In the current state it is barely functional anyway: asking it to set cabin temperature works, but so did SYNC before Alexa; asking it to set the seat or steering wheel warmer/heater yielded either "I don't know how to do that" or "your vehicle does not support it" depending on how I phrased the questions; asking it to navigate to specific places or addresses the success rate was only 50% - but to give Alexa credit, at least it makes the exact same mistakes consistently no matter how many times I asked for the same destination - Google Assistant via Android Auto is hardly error-free, but it never suffered failures when I asked for the same set of places/addresses over the last five years. The only reason I am willing to try it is because the Amazon Music app has this stupid behavior of frequently bugging me to upgrade to a paid plan over the "free" Prime tier, and the button to dismiss is not available on the screen it projects via Android Auto. As it turns out, when I ask Alexa to play music it works only if the car is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi (e.g., tethered to my phone), or it insists that a subscription to the Ford streaming plan is required (ignoring that my car already has Internet access due to a subscription to AT&T's In-Car Wi-Fi data plan).
Try making that request using Hawaiian place names and streets. I now have a great deal more empathy for the Scottish lady trying to get Alexa to play some music.

My mother is from Scotland. I always found these sort of things confusing when I was young. She sounded perfectly normal to me.
In Canada here and just got 3.5.2 myself about an hour ago while out on some errands.
Not really, but a few improvements. You get a button to turn on/off AC just below the Auto. You get alexa, new games, and streaming services. There may be more, but I dont think so, the 2023s got a more significant update I think.
Mine is off and I just received the expected notification which asks me to accept. I decided to let it install since I am curious if my charge locations and schedule will be erased again.
