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.

The best thing I had in my car Once you connect it to your phone and car you don’t have to do it again

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!

Great Bluetooth option for vehicles that are a little older and don’t have usb phone connections. Easy to set up and get going. Makes hands free communication with your phone work through the car audio. If you you have a newer vehicle that does all the latest hands free connection features don’t waist your money. But if you need hands free phone connection for a vehicle that was made before the leap in technology then this is a perfect solution.

I purchased this product because my car does not have Bluetooth and I wanted to see if this would work. I had purchased different Bluetooth devices before off of Amazon and EBay but they would work for a few weeks then stop working. This product really has made it super easy and simple to connect my phone to play music, receive calls, and even provide off directions while driving. I would 100% recommend this product if you do not currently have a Bluetooth compatible stereo as long as your car has an auxiliary input.
