I was very excited to receive this and install it in my vehicle. I've been using echo dots throughout my house for quite a while, and wanted to extend the hands-free functionality to my drive. First, the product performs exactly as it is designed and does exactly what I expected it to. However, I have a couple of issues that affect how I am able to use it. First, when leaving my home's wifi network and getting onto the cellular network, there is a disconnect that causes the echo auto to have problems. Though this isn't a fault with the echo auto, it does affect how it's used. Second, because of the data connection issue, when my iPhone connects to my truck's bluetooth, it automatically starts playing the music saved on my phone. Once the data issue is resolved, I can tell alexa to start playing something else, but I have to wait until the data issue corrects itself. Finally, the only other issue I have with the device is when I plug by phone into the truck's usb charging port, the media input automatically switches to the usb and therefore stops playing. This can easily be resolved by using the power plug adapter instead of the USB ports, but I liked the look of not having another thing plugged in. All in all, the echo auto was a good purchase, and I am going to by 3 more for my wife and kids. The hands-free functionality is very nice!Read full review

Being the owner of three home Echo devices, which I really enjoy, I'm quite disappointed in this echo auto device. Set-up was easy though. But actual operation is disappointing. The device looses connection with the phone constantly, and reactivation reacquires the use of the Alexa app, something you can't do while driving. Use of other features on you phone can't be used, such as the GPS, while operating Alexa. One supersedes the other. I was hoping to replace Serius/XM with Alexa, but no, it's not that user friendly. To really get Alexa to work, you'll need a co-pilot to handle Alexa when it (she) gets fussy.

I truly love this Echo Auto. It automatically connects to my phone as I turn on the car’s ignition. Makes hands free phone calls a matter of just speaking. Don’t ever have to remove my iPhone from my pocket. Easy to set up, supplied vent clip, cords and two port lighter plug were all helpful.

This product works well for me. When my phone is locked and I can't reach my Google Assistant, Alexa is always willing to listen. Durable. Connects at least 90% of the time. I think it's worth the effort

great and handy tool to have in your car when you need good voice recognition to do your task like getting news, reading SMS, finding songs or getting locations and directions since it is all connected thru your phone. SO far even in the mist of driving and the device is able to listen to my command . only very rarely that I have tro trepat my command>! Overall it works the way it is design to do and I am happy about the performance
