Amazon - Echo Auto Smart Speaker with Alexa - Black

This echo connect easily connected to my Acura, I was able to connect to the app, now I can control my whole automated house hands free while driving. My only issue is with the mount I wanted to add to my dash as the provided mount was not useful connected to my air vents. So I got some Velcro from EZ-pass location and mounted just like my Ez-pass. Amazon please consider a different mounting strategy.

Easy setup took less than 5min for me I like to read instructions. Paired easily with my phone and car, then only issue I have is sometimes it has a short pause/ cutout. Other than that I love it, always love listening to my favs on long drives without having to reach for the phone. Simple voice command and she starts playing your station.

Works great to access Amazon services but Amazon wants ALL your info. If you want to text someone they have to be on Amazon's list. It's very easy to call up music but not to call up Siri. My car is older so the bluetooth in the car is relatively primitive. I could receive telephone calls easily but making calls was downright dangerous, so I unpaired my phone. I ended up with two Bluetooth devices in my car, a microphone and speaker for the telephone and communication, and the Echo for entertainment. This Amazon Echo is attached to my audio line input and enables me to have some of the current streaming technology. It's not perfect but it's the best solution that I've found so far for my situation.

I am an avid user of these Alexa products but did not see the benefit of a version for a vehicle. I truck had all of the features I needed. I recently purchased a fully loaded from the factory (previous one was all after market) truck and it did not have BT audio even though it had phone connectivity. I found myself missing BT audio more than I thought. I tried a couple of products and reluctantly tried this one. It gave me BT audio and more. There are a few drawbacks for me but those are out weighed by the benefits. One that I would like to see changed on the next version is its own speaker for Alexa responses. At present your stereo has to be tuned to the correct input for all audio from Alexa. If I just want to ask a simple question or quick request I will not hear anything unless my stereo is on AUX. I think Alexa should be heard through it’s own speaker and any music, podcasts, Audibles, etc could then come from the BT or AUX connection. This way if I am listening to FM or XM I could still uses Alexa.

This was one of the more difficult Echo devices to setup. However, once it was setup, it was great. It's nice to have Alexa in the car with me. When I get lonely on a long drive, she tells me stories to keep me company. Sometimes, when I get sleepy driving, she'll scream at me to wake me up. She has definitely saved my life a time or two. I don't know what I would do without her. I think I might be falling in lo... On a more serious note, it is great having access to all of my music like Pandora, iHeart, and Amazon Music. Also, if I want to check a sports score or inquire about an internet search, she does that, too. You can also control all of your smart home features. So, when I pull in the drive way I can say, Alexa, turn on the living room lights. Then I don't have to come into a dark house. The air vent mount is a nice touch, but I would also like to have a magnetic mount for mounting this flat on my dash. I don't really like the air vent option for my vehicle, and I have a few flat surfaces that would work great for mounting. If you are an Alexa lover, then I would definitely recommend putting her in the car with you. Just don't let your wife know!

This has to be the best thing to have in a vehicle to have. Got this because I use the Alexa at home for a lot of stuff and when I found out it was available for the vehicle’s I got one. I have had this in my truck and using the Bluetooth in the truck it has been the greatest thing ever. To have Alexa read your note’s back to you and also take note’s as well while your driving with out having to touch your phone. And also the music I got the Amazon unlimited music and I have to say love listing to the music on there so much better than the Xmas radio it’s way better. Plus if you turn the vehicle off and get back in it it will start the music back from where you left off from. Best device for the vehicle in my book ever.

I got this for my husband for father's day We all can connect our phones depending who's using the car. It's awesome picking your music, skipping, asking questions, directions. Only thing is each time you get on you have to open your app and It has trouble connecting sometimes. Which I usually use the time my car heats up to do so. Wish it would just connect automatically but my husband doesn't fiddle with phone. I would recommend.

This was a surprisingly small echo product that I had ever used, even much smaller and light-weight than echo dot. All the heavy-lifting is done by your smartphone, but its a nice voice-assistant conduit for the same. I had a bit of a hiccup initially due to the internet connectivity issue, which I found that a lot of users had with this device. Just couldn't get it to work, and the troubleshooting offered online wasn't helpful as well. However, I coincidentally had to factory reset my phone, and reinstall the Alexa app on my Pixel 4a. To my surprise, the Echo Auto started working seamlessly after that! No clue what happened there. Once it started, its a good voice assistant, as it can hear you clearly even while music is being played. I mainly use it for daily weather, news, music and calling. No issues so far.
