AMAZING I love this
Bought to replace my Gen 1 Echo Auto, and let's say I'm glad I did, this version is sound more aesthetically pleasing and can be hidden anywhere in your car.The voice commands are a lot more responsive than the Gen 1 model never missing a beat.The functions are identical to the the original but the build quality is 10x better, this feels more robust and the sort fabric cover suits it perfectly

Like having your wife next to you in the car…
Great addition until it’s notPlay Amazon music during journeys, order stuff on the go but never lets you get a word in and sometimes does not listen, reminds me why I am divorced

okay
Good when it connects, clear sound , hears my voice with no problems, 4 stars because it loses connection some times.

Perfect, easy to install. 👍
Easy to install, I thought it would be difficult, but, was so easy to set up. Works perfectly, I can now listen to my favourite internet radio stations. Lovely. 👍😎

Doesn't play well with Android Auto and not a great upgrade from the first-gen model.
This was meant to be an upgrade from the first-generation model, but I'm not convinced I am going to keep it.The unit is smaller than the first generation, and yes that can be a bonus, but there's a small control box a couple of feet along the wire, and because the wire does not unplug from the unit, you cannot swap it for a shorter or longer lead. With the older model I could use my own length of USB lead, and thus keep it well hidden.I'm also not convinced there's any improvement in the microphone sensitivity and I don't like it that you now get a voice alert when you first start your engine - I don't need to advertise to everyone that I'm connecting to my phone, and the first generation did not do this.Anyway, the main point of the upgrade was because my new car has Android Auto, and I wanted to see if there was any improvement in the compatibility.Unfortunately, there is not an improvement, especially not with Amazon Music, and the Echo Interface will not appear on the AA screen -- so, when you set it up, and it asks how you connect, selecting Android Auto is a pointless option.You may as well select Bluetooth and be done with it - without Android Auto turned off, you get full physical button control through your head unit and steering wheel controls (if you have them). With AA turned on, you only get voice control.The Android Auto app is horrible if you're an Amazon Music subscriber - and while that shouldn't matter using Alexa, because you don't get physical controls, you need to find other ways to manage your music. I won't dwell on Amazon Music here, but there are enough forum and reddit posts telling you how bad it can be.If you have an older head unit (without Android Auto), and you have never had an Echo Auto before, then this could potentially be great - but not amazing. however, it's not worth the upgrade if you already have the older model.Update: I have now switched from Amazon Music to Spotify, and this actually works seamlessly with Android Auto, Alexa and I have full operational use of the steering wheel controls.

I HATE THIS THING BEYOND REASON. NOTHING BUT STRESS
Tldr: this is for an aux cable setup.I had a £15 aux/BT thing that worked perfectly fine, but since Siri was so crap i thought I’d buy into the Echo system since they work well at home. And for a few months we were doing okay, but this was before Amazon started mass layoffs. No idea if they’re connected.Here’s how a drive goes:I start my car, soon my Apple Watch pings that Alexa app is connected to my car. Google maps is already playing thru the car audio, so… we should be good, right? BAAHAHA, you’re so wrong.Here are the 4 things that happen, ordered from most frequent to least, when asked “Alexa, play X from Spotify”IM HAVING TROUBLE CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET, PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATERAnd… guess what? You HAVE TO keep trying & trying & getting yelled at, because there’s a very slim chance she WILL- but no way is she gonna tell you. Same as nothing tells you that “Alexa is connected to your car” ALSO means “Alexa is in space”2/ you DO connect & breathe a sigh of relief. You relax into your tunes & your drive and everything is peachy. For 2 songs. Or 5. Sometimes 10. Then SILENCE. That’s all you get, until you play the connection game again. If you DO connect? YOURE LISTENING TO THOSE SAME SONGS AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN.3/ whatever the Alexa-sanitised wording is for IM COMPLETELY USELESS. PLEASE PULL OVER WHEN SAFE TO DO SO AND TAKE A BREAK FIGURING OUT WHATS WRONG WITH ME.Since I live in London, and this will ALWAYS happen on the motorway or red lined main roads… frankly I’ve never done it.Finally, 4/ This is where it works. It could also be 2/ since I take a lot of shorter journeys. What I DO know is I loathe all the first 10 tracks from my playlists.I’ll be told things are good. Then when I believe it, turns out we’re not good. If that changes, I’m not told either, unless I ask. Regardless, this thing never works properly. I HAVE spent over 30 minutes with support there on the phone, doing multiple things like disconnecting/recomnecting, deleting and reinstalling, powering off & powering back on.Apparently this is something I need to do nearly every single drive I take, since this system never works.I don’t need to tell you how dangerous this is, screaming at your pointless £60 wasted, trying to drive without distractions.
