  • Disappointed that your Tesla does not have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto? Well Amazon released the Echo Auto, an Amazon assistant made for your car so you can take Alexa with you on the road.
    This video I unbox the Echo Auto, and show you what I did to "install" the Echo Auto. Since Tesla has USB ports, it is very simple. You plugin and your ready to go. Use the Alexa app on your phone to add a new device. Now every time you get in your Tesla, you have access to Alexa. You must have it set to use your phone audio. I provide a mini review and my opinion on how well the Echo Auto works in your Tesla.
    My only complaint was at 5:15. I wish I could stream and still have it popup rather then being stuck on my phone's Bluetooth.
    In this video I show you a few of the commands of the Echo Auto such as:
    Calling contacts
    Finding local gas stations (LOL?)
    Playing Tesla Skyrim... okay it is the very special edition but nonetheless you can play Skyrim in your Tesla.
    Interested in purchasing? www.amazon.com...
    Features:
    ► Designed for the road - With 8 microphones and far-field technology, Echo Auto can hear you over music, A/C, and road noise. Echo Auto is also designed for your privacy. You can press the microphone off button to electronically disconnect the microphones.
    ►Go beyond radio - Voice control Echo Auto through the Alexa app to play Audible audiobooks, listen to podcasts, or stream Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, SiriusXM, or radio stations
    ►Just ask - Use your voice to play music, check the news, open the garage door, find the nearest gas station, and more.
    ►Do more with your voice - Make calls, set reminders, add items to your shopping and to-do lists, or manage your calendar.
    ►Alexa has skills - With tens of thousands of skills and counting, ►Alexa is always getting smarter.
    Set location-based routines - Alexa can automatically start a series of actions when you leave the office or get home.

    *This is my **Newest.Technology** second one, the first was for my older car. Alexa works way better than an FM tuner bluetooth or for hands free calling. We found it also worked great on the boat. That is why we now own two Echo Auto's.*

    Very Helpful . I had to stop my Alexa multiple times to complete this video. Next time just beep the word "Alexa" . Almost anyone watching would already be a Alexa user :).

    Please don't say the Echo wake-up word in any future videos. I had to mute and use subtitles in the end as it kept waking up my Echo device.

    I have myQ linked to Alexa and use the Echo Auto to run a routine when I get to my garage - open the garage door, unlock my house and play Queen in my living room. Didn’t pay for Homelink and don’t need to anymore.

    • @MotherFrunker

    Having to leave the console in phone mode for Alexa to work makes it impractical since I prefer to listen to streaming music while driving.

    Do you need to set up a WiFi hotspot on your phone or does it use the data plan on your phone and forward the audio through the phone to Amazon?

    • @MotherFrunker
      @MotherFrunker  5 лет назад +1

      So no hotspot. It connects to your phone through Bluetooth. As soon as you go near your car it connects and gives the Echo Auto internet. It does use your data plan from your phone.

    Kudos to your hand model for the unboxing ;-). I would prefer Google Assistant with something like the ROAV Bolt.

    • @MotherFrunker

      The roav bolt looks cool. Too bad it's not powered through USB.

    • @btr2trvl
      @btr2trvl 4 года назад +1

      I have both. The echo is much more reliable and the bolt makes it so you can’t close the compartment it’s too big at least on my X

    • @MotherFrunker
      @MotherFrunker  4 года назад

      I think a usb powered one would've been so much better. I think some DIY hacking could make it work. Either way, I appreciate your product comparison.
