LOL, you don't need to hit the action button to activate Alexa!!!! You just have to use your voice and say "Alexa" and then ask your question or give the command you want. I can't believe you didn't know this!!! That's why these devices are called "voice" assistants! It would be pretty inconvenient and a bit distracting to have to push the action button as you're driving along. Also, if you do use the action button, you don't have to say "Alexa" you just go ahead and ask your question or give your command.
Hey man can I ask you something. Does this work to play music apps while you're in a call on your phone? I'm annoyed af by the fact every time I use bluetooth on my phone but get in a call I can't play my music apps without the voice / audio from the call with it. Only reason I was even thinking about getting this alexa auto.
Great demo! My cars don't have Bluetooth or an aux jack so I use an old FM transmitter plugged into my lighter that has a built-in aux jack and it works fine!
I have a 2009 Audi A3. When I go to set up the Echo Auto with the Aux connection in the device and the car, the Echo does not see it. I have tried all the settings on the dash. None of them work for this. I can see it in the Echo and my iPhone when I use the other connection, but there is no sound. I don't know how to connect it to my car. I have Bluetooth that works with my iPhone for calling and receiving calls in the car. There is no "Bluetooth" like you show in the Chevrolet. Help!!
@@TheWizardofWestLA Thank you! I figured it out awhile ago. I realized I had to start the dongle I had already been using followed by the auto one. I have to say that the sound improved tremendously with the auto device added! I am not terribly impressed with the Alexa app running things, but I am managing. I normally listen to RUclips Music, and it doesn’t support that. I was using Amazon Prime music which is terrible, so I switched back to Apple.
if your Alexa Auto in connected to your Android phone with the Alexa app and the same phone is connected to the Echo hub in your home, can you ask it to turn on the outdoor lights or disengage the security system (assuming you have both and they work w Alexa)?
Hi, i see that your car is capable of making calls through bluetooth and music as well but why did you choose the option of "No"? May i know why please?
How to connect alexa echo auto to car Bluetooth cos I tried several times but it's not pairing. My app is ON in mobile and also the car Bluetooth but still it wud not connect. Please help. Thankx
Can I use this to play music apps like spotify & so on in my car. while being in a call on my phone at the same time without them interfering with each other?
Thank you, this was wonderful and very helpful, I am wondering if you can use 2 smartphones with this Echo Auto, It seems my husbands smartphone won't connect but mine did immediately. I am trying to use each phone at different times, not at the same time. Thank you again!!
This device works w/o pushing the button. Just use the "wake word" . . . Alexa + question or command. Question: Is the power constantly pulling power from the battery? Mine stays active even when the ignition is OFF, making me concerned my battery is draining. When ignition is off I can ask Alexa to do something and it "tries" to respond, though I can't hear it thru the speakers when ignition is off (stereo power is connected to ignition). But the blue light comes on, indicating it is listening for the wake work and responding. It also stays connected to my phone via Bluetooth while I'm in the house and car is in garage. Anyone else have these issues? Amazon says my car is unique in the cigarette lighter being connected directly to the battery vs. the ignition. I highly doubt this, as most cars' cig. lighters are connected directly to the battery and thus constantly pulling power. I'm trying to find a solution to these issues. Anyone?
Brian Isaacson yes it will pull power from the battery. It looks like you have a situation where the battery is directly connected to your cigarette lighter. So I understand why it is responding that makes a lot of sense to me. And yes you’re right it does use the wake word.
Trying to listen to the radio on the Echo has suddenly become a nightmare. Every time you start up the Echo radio, change to a new station, pause and resume for even a few seconds; they start running a new set of commercials for sports betting websites and other nonsense. They are relentless !! It's the same commercials over and over and over !! If you want to start the day by checking who the host is on one station and then decide to switch to a different station, you could easily be subjected to 10 minutes of commercials IN ADDITION TO the commercials the radio station is running. Whose fault is this, Audacy or Amazon ? If you are someone who changes stations more than a couple of times an hour, forget it. You are going to be overwhelmed with redundant commercials. I bought the echo to listen to the radio but all these extra commercials are causing me to go back to my old fashioned radios and just listen to local radio. I am not buying ANY more ECHO devices until this gets fixed !! Who can we complain to ?? WRZ 2021-07-18 Delaware County, PA
Interesting video with good set-up instructions, but I don't think you quite understand how to operate this device. The Amazon Echo Auto is made to take away the distractions of having to use your radio or cell phone while driving. Your commands are purely voice commands and not necessitating the need to press the Echo button. Try just saying Alexa, and give her a voice command. Hopefully you are using voice commands with your home Alexa devices and not running over to push the optional command button. Thanks.
You open the Alexa app and then touch on the devices icon in the lower right corner. Then hit the plus (+) icon in the top right to add a device. Then touch on "Amazon Echo" and it should be in that list.

That happened to me too with another vehicle. Bluetooth (pair) the device to your iPhone. Try that and let me know if it works.

They should turn on because the phone is connected to same account. Thanks for watching Phil!!!
Hi, i see that your car is capable of making calls through bluetooth and music as well but why did you choose the option of "No"? May i know why please?
To experiment with the setup. I have used both Bluetooth and cable connection. Bluetooth is better
I have a 2003 toyota camry & no bluetooth or aux button in my car? Will it connect any other way?
Actually yes using a FM radio transmitter. One of those devices to use your radio with other devices
How to connect alexa echo auto to car Bluetooth cos I tried several times but it's not pairing. My app is ON in mobile and also the car Bluetooth but still it wud not connect. Please help. Thankx
I am finding it to connect with car Bluetooth, I don’t like wires hanging around … can you guide me
Can I use this to play music apps like spotify & so on in my car. while being in a call on my phone at the same time without them interfering with each other?
Why would you want that in the first place? Play music while you’re on the phone😂. How about one thing at a time
Hi,tried it with just the auxiliary cable plugged in it didn't work,do you have to plug the USB cable in as well?
Yes, the usb cable is the power from car to Echo, so u need both the usb and the auxiliary cable
Please someone should share the real application with me. Thanks
hi, how can I set up echo auto and my cel phone into the car radio²?

I dunno. Maybe try watching the video first?

Thank you, this was wonderful and very helpful, I am wondering if you can use 2 smartphones with this Echo Auto, It seems my husbands smartphone won't connect but mine did immediately. I am trying to use each phone at different times, not at the same time. Thank you again!!
make sure the bluetooth is turned off on the opposite phone.
thanks for watching!!!
@@TheWizardofWestLA Thank you SO much!
It's not called Eco auto it's called echo auto
Thank you só much for vídeo demo.
Why does Alexa keep on connecting to my cell phone instead of through aux cord my car is not Bluetooth
Which app do I need
Amazon Alexa app

I changed phone numbers and had a lot of problems reconnecting. Talked to Amazon for 2 hrs and still couldn't get connected. WTH

Thank you.
Nice video!
Mario thanks and thank you for subscribing.
Can you receive calls
My car is older and doesn’t have Bluetooth or Bluetooth menu.
Does anyone know how to connect it to Wifi ?
Hi, you didn’t show us how to connect to wi-fi
Which cord do I use I have blue tooth in my truck connected to my phone already
I hear the blue in car complicates the app . I was advised to use the aux wire
You don’t need to say Alexa when pushing the button
Yes i discovered that thanks. I need to find a way to put that into the video. Thanks for viewing Alexander!!!
Installed the app added the device n the test sound isn’t coming threw to my truck I’m so not tec material I got this as a gift n can’t use it
Actually i discovered that you need to pair it to Bluetooth
@@TheWizardofWestLA oh lord well back n the box it goes 😩
@@TheWizardofWestLA not true
Almost Awesome!
Mine can’t connect :((
Make sure it is on the network.
Buddy you don't nerd to push button. Just say Alexa
But all smart phones give you all those info via via speech ie Apple siri, google etc ......... I DONT UNDERSTAND ITS USE
This device works w/o pushing the button. Just use the "wake word" . . . Alexa + question or command.

Yes I think it is actually responding when your ignition is off and your car stereo is off or however you have a connected but you can’t hear it.
Thanks for your comment that helps a lot
That’s not good . I guess you have to unplug it when you get out each time .
