Is Alexa a helpful car companion? We give this $50 gadget a full review to see what Alexa can do on the go. We even take the Echo Auto for a ride in a fancy car. Apparently, it should be able to hear over road noise. The question is, how much road noise can it handle?
Note: We bleeped out the “Alexa’s” in the video to avoid activating your smart speakers at home.

How can we change language in echo auto?
I know its intended for a carThey should make the 3.5mm an optical out mini toslink combi, so you can add this to a DAC or AV receiver and place it neatly as its small, also theoreticlaly should be possible to attach a poerbank ang hook up headphones, etc or built in hifi blutooth pieces. They should change the input of the echo dot to usb c. I have a echo dot with a usb to barrel 12V step up converter so I can use a USB outlet and not occupy a plug
do they vibrate when bluetooth out of range?
5:42 , that’s not a she, is a “it”
Picked one up at goodwill for 1.00$
just got it on sale for 15 bucks!
Link it up to your hi-fi at home too ✌️
Have it in my “American brand” vehicle.
I have had mine for a good one or two years now and I must say — I do not want to miss it anymore.
Not only is tuning in my desired music or radio channels handsfree a great addition. I honestly use it for so much more — whether that is calling someone entirely handsfree, directions, “show me the nearest gas station” stuff or more.
I even frequently use it to manage my shopping list, tasks and calendars. It’s just so handy to get in my car to drive to the grocery store and have Alexa read me my shopping list once more, on the way, to ensure I didn’t forget anything I need.
Also I often use it along with my existing smart home. I have a routine that turns on lights, heating, etc. when I get home. So usually I tell that routine to Alexa in my car as I pull up to the parking lot at home. That way, as I open my apartment door, everything is already lit up, warm and welcoming.
Damnit dad!!
Siri and car play if you have it works better
I am interested in your sunglasses, share link to the store.
You’re awesome bro thank you so much I pre muted her before clicking. Deserve a like and a sub.
Who would drive a convertible top already down with the AC on?
If Bluetooth is built into the car, you can use the Alexa app on your phone. Why buy this device?
Love You. Like Sexually.
This was funny
I wander if apple will make something small like this since the hey word is gone now it’ll be just like this
Automatic subscribe on the strength of how good and informative this video is ❤❤❤
Hi dude how to connect this Alexa auto to laptop
Very well done video! You covered all the aspects of testing😂
If doesent do anythig that Alexa free download app cant do
You said the data doesn’t use bluetooth, but I want it to use bluetooth and not my network. I don’t have data on my Samsung Spotify gadget. I therefore am only using the Samsung to play the playlists, podcasts etc. that I want cast via voice activation so it can be on demand and hands free. I mean to say, Alexa, play at volume 6 … Alexa stop. What about that?
One question he didn’t answer, can you use Echo Auto to control devices at home. Not sure if there is a same-network limitation although if it’s on the same amazon account, it might work. Anyone?
Hello how does the Other end of the power cord look like? the end opposite the micro usb end…
😂
I laughed when you said ” let’s go to my car” and then walked to over to the car that no one would have thought.😂😂
Amazon Auto is absolute garbage. Never connects to uconnect or carplay. Brand new car and the Amazon Echo Auto actually will cause you to crash trying to figure out what its not doing and why not…?
YOUR PHONE HAS ALEXA AND SIRI AND BLUETOOTH AND WIFI.
$20 piece of trash
if only it could be connected via usb to the infotainment and could deliver an AndroidAuto experience with Gmaps and everything
You didn’t show where those 2 cables going 😢
Came here because Alexa is now integrated into my new Mazda.
I can’t imagine why I would use this over Siri
I have Alexa and Google spot at home and use the spot more, but probably because YouTube has a larger music library (I think)
Your big kids sold me 😂😂😂
