Issue using Amazon Echo Auto (Alexa) in my BMW

Anyone else got a Echo Auto for their BMW?

I got one the other day, and there is one issue that IMHO makes it unusable: When I say the wake word (Alexa), the car switches to Bluetooth input and the Amazon app on my phone takes over the connection. Alexa answers, but then the app keeps the Bluetooth connection ‘alive’ - the car never switches back to the music source I was listening to! I have to actually close the Alexa app for the phone to ‘release’ the Bluetooth connection.

Just wondering if others have the same on their BMW’s or if there is a setting that I haven’t found yet?

2020 Z4, Apple iPhone.
