Limited functionality on iPhone,Needs your car set to Bluetooth,Alexa has basic driving information
The Amazon Echo Auto (2nd Gen)'s high-quality microphone makes Alexa easy to use in the car for those who particularly want to use this voice assistant away from home. Reliance on a strong internet connection and limited ability to understand navigation p...
Compact design,Easy to set up,Very good microphones,
Alexa doesn't always understand, Location issues when asking for directions, Requires a data connection to your phone,
The Echo Auto is a simple way to bring the Alexa voice assistant to almost any vehicle. Excellent microphones mean Alexa hears you clearly and serves up music, podcasts, radio and driving directions with a simple command. But it is reliant on your phone's...
Mics work well even in a noisy car, Hands-free Alexa while driving
Doesn't add much to modern cars, Not easy to hide wires
The Echo Auto isn't the first car-based device to have Alexa: I've already tested dash cams from Nextbase and the Roav Viva. But the Echo Auto is the best at hearing my voice over all the noise, and was easy to set up.Whether it makes sense for you will d...

Effective far field microphones, Adds Bluetooth receiver and voice control to older cars, Dashboard air vent mount included in box
Navigation operations don't work brilliantly, Can't send texts from iPhones
In case you hadn't figured it out by now, the Amazon Echo Auto is a very odd product. For owners of older cars, it has its uses, and its microphones do a great job of cutting through the roar of road noise. If you're a member of the former group or your p...

Great voice control,Familiar Alexa experience,Easy route to making your car smart
Adds little to modern cars,Doesn't handle location well,Relies on phone connection,Visual cables may not appeal
The Amazon Echo Auto is a fun addition to cars, bringing the convenience and familiarity of Alexa and voice control to a wider range of drivers. If you're a fan of Alexa at home, then you'll likely be a fan of the Echo Auto in your car too.But the benefit...

Adds basic smarts to older cars, Solid Bluetooth to Aux adapter, Unlocks hands-free Alexa if the app isn't open
Alexa not as useful as Google Assistant or Siri in the car, Offers nothing of note if you have CarPlay or Android Auto, Ugly mount
For drivers rocking an older car that doesn’t enjoy the benefits of Bluetooth, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, then the Echo Auto may prove useful. Provided you’re absolutely infatuated with Alexa and don’t want to have to use one of the alternatives when...
Abstract: Alexa is pretty much overtaken our homes in a quest to make the smarter but until now, the car has been slightly out of reach. Enter the Echo Auto; this device brings Alexa functionality into the car. This device has finally been launched in the UK, follo...
Stunningly good microphones, Small enough to tuck away, Bluetooth and 3.5mm stereo connectivity, Dead simple set up
No active navigation, No cooperation with other apps on my phone, Mostly limited to Amazon-only services, Multi-user support is lacking, Included Vent Clip sucks
Right now? No. In fact, hell no. Amazon has been working on this for a year now, and it is nowhere near ready for mass consumption. I may be asking too much here, but if this thing is going to use my phone for data, I want it to have more access to the th...
