New Firestick with Alexa voice

[Sammygazo]

Trying to set this up to get the most out of my rocket.
i found a detailed how to but it was posted in 2015.
Do these instructions still apply to a new Firestick or are there
new procedures?

It depends on how you want to use the Firestick and the specific instructions you are referring to. You'd need to point out the instructions and what you're trying to do.
