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.

I had signed up for early access to Echo Auto. I have been using it just over a month now. The voice pick up works really well without hardly any miss cues considering sometimes noisy environment of a vehicle. It functions just like any echo device in your home and that is one of the short falls I think would make this a great device. Echo auto acts like it is sitting in your living room. It doesn't know you are driving or where you are at. I was hoping it would use GPS from your phone to know your location in which echo auto could give you relevant info. Not the case. It may not be a deal breaker, but be aware it assumes you are sitting in your living room. One other issue I have had is the amount of blutooth devices your phone can connect to. My phone is connecting to my vehicle radio, echo auto, and my watch. The watch seems to get booted when playing spotify through the radio using blutooth. Not huge deal but be aware of the amount of connections and disconnect possibilities. There is also a cable supplied to connect echo auto to a 1/8" input if your vehicle has one. The other short coming was the mount for the device itself. I found it totally unusable for my vehicle. Keep in mind that I was a beta user and the prime time echo auto may have changed mounts based on feedback. Over all the units works well. If you would like to have Alexa with you on your ride for questions, games, home automation, ect. this echo will do the job.

I love having an assistant in the vehicle for true hands free and distraction free driving. I purchased the Garmin speak a couple years ago and this functionally does better. I’m able to play any streaming music, use smart home products, routines, etc. My one negative on the product is its aesthetics. The device itself is a bit awkward as a rectangle, but more importantly how it’s mounted is limiting. You have to mount it to the vent, there’s no alternative and it looks clunky. The rubber piece that holds the wires in place fell off after a day so I had to super glue it back. Not the best mechanism, but certainly showing improvements from the Garmin Speak.

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!

I didn’t know these existed , I saw it on a Nationwide commercial and went out and got one , I have one for the home and love it so I figured I’d like the auto also , I had trouble getting it to work at first but called customer service , he told me to download the app again and that fixed the problem, for no reason it disconnected from my device twice and I had to go in and reconnect it , it works fine now , the only problem I have is that it sometimes can’t understand some of my command which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars

I have a 2019 Honda Accord. The Echo Auto was very easy to set up and works as advertised. I have mine connected with the Bluetooth feature in my car. You can also use an auxiliary connection if your car does not have Bluetooth. Sometimes it’s just nice to be able to ask Alexa for a certain song or artist while driving and not have to do anything else. I would recommend this product.

Has a couple of quirks but works well - the wife likes being able to turn lights on and off at home if we have been out all night
