Mikah Sargent walks through how this device connects the Alexa app on your phone and plays through your car’s speakers via auxiliary input or your smartphone’s Bluetooth connection so you can ask Alexa to play your Spotify music, continue your Audible audiobook, make calls, and other Alexa skills.

Despite the Echo Auto having 8 microphones mine still has a hard time hearing me sometimes. It's on the passenger vent.
Just got my Echo Auto and it only come with the vent mount. Do they sell the dash mount separately?
I'm highly invested in the Alexa ecosystem and still wouldn't recommend this for most people. Great review!
I was invited to order…but am returning mine since it will not play previously downloaded files on my phone. That constitutes about 98% of my listening…so the device is useless…I can use ok google to dial people.
I was one of the early tester and share my toughs with amazon already. Not worth it , end up giving mine away. You will have to interact with alexa every time you turn the car. If you are listening music and you go in to the store when you comeback you will have to ask alexa to play the music again . Besides the point that needs your phone to work so why to pay extra device when you just can use the alexa app on your phone. Not mentioning you got google assistant , siri, or bixby. Not worth the 25 bucks .
The Echo Auto is useful because you don't have to unlock your phone to listen to music, such as when you're using the Google Assistant on an Android phone. And it can hear you much better than an iPhone or an Android phone even in loud vehicle conditions. But the device does have a tendency to lose connection to the phone. Athough, I have found that turning off battery optimization for Bluetooth helps keep the connection strong.
Another useful reason to have Echo Auto is simply to be able to have Bluetooth access on a vehicle that doesn't have Bluetooth built-in to it. You can set up the Echo Auto and then you can always just manually play music on your phone if you want to and use the Bluetooth feature so that you can hear music coming from your car stereo. And then you don't even need to talk to Alexa at all. You would just use your phone normally amd you're going to have that Bluetooth connection that your car is lacking, thanks to the Echho Auto acting aa a Bluetooth "bridge."
I'm with everyone else. Redundant and no visuals for driving directions.
At least you got the vent mount, I was an earlier tester and we didn't get one.
Mikah, please don't be offended. Your way of product explaination is to lengthy & "dumb". Don't talk as if the viewer don't know how the air vent clips work. The 12v port also refers as car cig lighter holder. I stopped watching after a couple of minutes of skipping your video. Sorry. Please try to improve your presentation…
Nice idea but largely redundant with voice assistance built into Google and Apple that link to infotainment systems already. Plus Mercedes and BMW for example already have their own version of Alexa. If Amazon want to go ahead with this they should work with manufacturers to integrate Alexa into their infotainment systems.
Smart phones already have assistance built-in.. this is an odd product. I don't think people are going to be hooking up their flip phones up to Echo Auto.
With apple car play on the car's dashboard, I see echo auto pretty redundant and useless
10 mins in the device has still not been switched on and I'm losing the will to live.
