Is Amazon's Alexa Powered Echo Auto Right for Your Car?

- getconnectedme... - It's clear that Amazon has found their way into almost everyone's homes. From getting you hooked on Amazon Prime to adding their smart speakers all over your home. 'Hey, Alexa' is as common to say as 'good morning.' The Echo Auto is an Alexa powered device for your car and has just arrived in Canada. If you have an older vehicle that doesn't have Carplay or Android Auto, the Echo Auto helps make it smarter by giving it the power of a voice assistant, with the ability to integrate it into your existing car audio system. It does that via Bluetooth or with an auxiliary out jack.
Echo Auto can give you turn by turn directions, let you add things to your grocery list, and as many Amazon Prime members have discovered, it gives you access to your entire Amazon Prime Music collection on the road, FREE. Plus, any Alexa Skill you have enabled on your smart speakers at home, can be accessed here.
While the majority of vehicles out there will be compatible, there are some exceptions:

Even if you have CarPlay or Android Auto, or a smartphone, Amazon Alexa wasn't a real option in your car until now. By using Echo Auto, you've now got a reasonable third option that will continue to get better with updates. And, to be honest, I like knowing when someone has delivered my Amazon Prime order when I'm on the road.

my car so old it don’t even have an aux input 😭
Me too, so is our only choice to get a new stereo? Which I need one already so, this will make me put one in now.
If either of you have a cassette player you can get a cassette to aux adapter on Amazon pretty cheap.
Also the echo auto is on sale for $19 at the time of this comment.
You can buy a Bluetooth FM transmitter from Amazon for $15
What is better is what I did... I bought the Garmin DriveSmart 65 with Amazon Alexa. You get a great navigator and all the Echo features built in.
Great suggestion!
If you want to spend 200$
@@CWallyMan Well worth it
What's better is I bought a new car that does all of that and more. 😃👍
I've had one for over a year. I was one of the Beta testers. These things are junk if only because you constantly get; "Your Echo Auto is not connected to your smart phone. Please pull over and make sure your bluetooth connection is working." (or something close to that). At least 3 out of 4 times when I asked for something, it would not work or it would ask me to; "Please turn on your location setting..." After all the trouble, it just threw it away. It was just easier to use my phone directly.
How do you update it through the app? I've tried searching for it and can't find it.
Is it practical for phone calls in the car? does it have speakerphone? Especially if your car does not have a auxiliary input.
It doesn't have speaker I works through your car audio.
Stop saying "Alexa" so much or mute it out, everytime you say it, my home Alexa responds to it...

It's a little too late to ask him to stop saying Alexa too much don't you think it sounds to me like you're trying to find a response and get some attention and though it might work it's not very flattering of you FYI maybe you should mute your Alexa when you decide to watch these videos so that way you don't have to deal with it okay
Alexa is using data in your phone?
hi, what windshield camera is install on your car
I use it strictly for the Bluetooth access to my non Bluetooth stereo. this is NO ECHO DOT. its sucks as an echo dot. i don't talk to it anymore.
Take a shot everytime he says "actually" Warning: doing that could cause alcohol poisoning
Leave him alone wtf
@@sadiecorbett893 No
Why not just use the Alexa App on my phone?
Does your phone have the nightrider light? Didn't think so!
The microphones on the Echo Auto are much better at hearing you over car noise.
Plus Alexa app will integrate with your car stereo via bluetooth
@@lunkercarp I have one in my car and it is a pain!, it falls out of the holder often. I cannot just say her name I have to go to the phone to get her to answer me. I hope some day to have a car with this preinstalled as I have 6 echo type devices in my home.
@@lhr9919 I have it tucked away in the center council of my Tesla model S. I don't use any of the buttons on it and certainly don't want gadgets littered all over my dash. Works well for me.
Can I play any audio from my phone through my stereo like a Bluetooth receiver?
Yes
Nice video , love the mellow approach.
Your video literally added toilet paper to my shopping list! Next time you make a video about Alexa - mute "Alexa" from your video please.
While toilet paper is something we all need, we're sorry that ended up in your cart. But on the bright side of the many other things that Alexa could have heard, that was probably the most family friendly. And we'll carry a bigger stick for Alexa violations. Thanks for watching!
@@getconnectednow no prob!
Mine to LOL
I guess I don't understand what the big deal is about Alexa adding toilet paper to your shopping list I say this because this individual is not the only one that Alexa has done that to and FYI perhaps you're the one that should start muting your Alexa if you choose to view and listen to any of these how to videos because it really isn't that flattering of you
I was a little disappointed in this device.
My husband sometimes forget to take his phone. And for those times when I am out and my family can not contact me through my phone. It is good to know that they can always do a “drop-in” through the echo dot that is in our cars. This is something the echo auto can not do.
No matter where you are outside of your home you can always drop-in on a “echo dot” that’s in your vehicle from any Alexa device in your home. Other than that my phone can do everything else that this little device can. Why waste the money?
I have a 2017 Sierra and the Echo Auto will not connect to the trucks Bluetooth. The only way I can hear Alexa response is when the tuck drops my cell phones connection. Any suggestions?
Stop saying Alexa commands! You kicked off all my devices ..
Ya he earned a dislike for that most home have her and is annoying
Hahaha...your funny. what is the problem if the saying Alexa commands you are die. if you don't want don't look or lessen other wise you are not heart stack right.
listen through headphones .
What is the name of the cable you replace it with? How long is it? Thank you
Sadly there seem to be a conflict between Android auto and echo dot
I use it in my Tesla Y but requires the Alexa app be open in my phone. Sucks in that regard. I hope Elon builds it into the the car. I bought it on Amazon for $19 US dollars. Not worth more than that, imo.
You paid way too much. Amazon is practically giving these away.
Almost Awesome!
I enjoy mine
If you have a mobile phone you don't need a echo auto simple as that. It's pointless
Exactly this.....................So what is the point ??????????????
@@Bazzer1955 to.make money from gullible people
Does your phone have voice commands?. Is so then it is pointless.
@@jonflynne151 So why are you here? Oh you must be the only smart one in the room.
MUTE THE WAKE WORD!!
Here's a tip: you are not the only person on planet Earth with an Amazon Echo device.
We'll make sure that's on the editor's list of deadly sins. Sorry!
Turned you off as soon as you used the WAKE WORD.
What happens if someone takes or steels this from your car, will they have access to your home, Amazon account cameras ect?
Your phone would have to be in your car for the echo to pair. Otherwise if someone drives off without your phone in there then every time they ask for Alexa she will respond that there is no phone connected
Dude use common sense dont make a video and say Alexa
Answers none of the good questions that all these viewers are asking.
