Echo Auto (Newest gen) | Add Alexa to your car

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. 👍😎

Added Bluetooth to my non-bluetooth car. Works seamlessly, quick to restart after car ignition, very useful as just a Bluetooth pass through to car speakers. (+Alexa).Looks nice, with Bluetooth connected it goes blue, fits in with my car interior. Is study, surprisingly small, sounds great. I got on spring sale so good value.

ok this is by far an improvement over the first version of Alexa autobut does have some flawsthe speaker is EXTREMELY quiet and you can just about hear itluckily its only used if its not connected too a phone ..it is also not very loud when talking on your phone and stereo if you have your media playingand you CANNOT TURN HER VOICE UP its fixedthe leds adjust too the light levels and dim in the dark .. but they dim far too much and if you turn this feature off the leds don't come on at allone final issue is she does not use phone mode when talking so your stereo wont interrupt too hear her if your not on the Bluetooth audio setting or on android autoyou cannot rename it in the app it stays called ( ANT245) whatever that isit NEEDS an led too be on constantly so you know where it is in the dark cos i have lost and fumbled about for it loads ..that's the bads out of the waythe goods are she's fast she's responsive and can work even with the audio up loudits small and does easily fit in with the cars aesthetics too a pointi do love this device but it needs some extra features and tweaking as its very bare bones right now still

Excellent product. Fits perfectly into the car and uses the cars sound system. Small and discreet. Connects to Alexa’s in the house so can turn the lights on at home from the car!

I’ve been using the Echo Auto for a bit now, and it’s a decent addition to my car, but there are a few drawbacks. The voice commands are really convenient for hands-free tasks, like changing music, asking for directions, or checking the weather while driving. It’s easy to set up, and it connects well with my phone’s Bluetooth.However, the connection isn’t always reliable, and I sometimes need to reconnect it, which can get annoying. Also, the sound quality for calls isn’t as good as I expected, especially when compared to other in-car devices.Pros:Convenient hands-free Alexa commandsEasy to set up and useGood for music and simple tasksCons:Connection issues can be frustratingCall quality could be betterOverall, it’s a handy gadget, but it’s not perfect. Worth it if you’re a big Alexa fan, but not essential.

Have I got a broken one? The other reviews are good but for me, this barely works.A bit of history. I was an early adopter of the original Echo Auto, that was a pain to use when it was first released. It gradually became what it should always have been but it now works sporadically, it's in my wife's car and she's unplugged it and refuses to use it as it just infuriates her.Along came v2, smaller (well sort of) and what I was hoping to be a refined product. Initial setup was a breeze, and the variety of commands that I threw at it were all completed as expected in the brief 5 minutes that I spent playing around.That was the height for the v2. The following is a list of all the faults I have discovered in the near 2 weeks "using" it on a daily basis.1. As I went on a drive the next day and, whilst playing music, I noticed that every 2-3 minutes the bluetooth connection drops slightly producing what I can only describe as a hiccup in the middle of a song. This happens every time I am connected. A rather annoying fault but one that I'd hope they would fix pretty quickly.2. Just like the original, it sometimes doesn't use the phones app to make calls and instead uses Amazon's which I think uses the Internet instead making it completely useless in areas where I don't have perfect 4/5G. This forces me to have to stop and make a call. There needs to be an option to default to the phones calling app and not Amazon's.3. As my phone connected around the start of week 2, I started to have to unplug the USB and plug it back in again to get sound. Another fault that was common on my v1.4. This brings us to today where it stopped working all together. I have reset it twice and had no luck. I have a solid blue light sometimes, sometimes a flashing blue light. I call alexa and the light comes on but there's no sound, I call alexa and get nothing, I press the action button and get a light but still nothing. When I have finally got something from v2 it's because I've manually started Spotify. Asking v2 to skip a song or stop playing doesn't work either. There seems to be a complete disregard in the entire Echo system for Spotify as I can struggle at home on v2 bigger brothers.I'm conclusion, this is no better than a cheap £15-20 bluetooth receiver. I'll give it a couple of weeks to see if any updates get rolled out but this is just another example of a firm pushing out a product that clearly isn't ready for release.

so easy to set up! works a treat.
