It's an Amazon Echo device for your car that uses your cellphone for connectivity. Really it's mainly just a microphone with some buttons (mute, active) and indicator lighting that ties into the Alexa app on your phone. It has the advantage that you don't need to run the app as always listening or have your phone out of your pocket.
Waste your money, mobile data, and frustrate people. Its a total garbage device, avoid it like the plague. And this is coming from someone that has a Echo in every room of the house.
Probably (roughly cigarette pack, 2/3 as thick), but better to mount it in a more open area so the microphone can hear over other sounds like the radio.
Thank you
Tell me how you really feel ! LOL
Auto Echo can be very useful in older cars.
Sorry I was thinking Amazon, just typed Google while thinking of the phone. I can’t think of any good reasons to have Amazon on and Bezos listening, “oh, gotta order more X right now!”, but as someone outlined above it has some other purposes.
Yeah, I was just being a pain in the butt. I was an early adopter of Amazon Echo Car when it was in beta/first limited release. I used it for a few weeks and then stopped plugging it in. It is still there on my dash, but not being used. For me it was only really helpful as a way to add Bluetooth to my "dumb" car stereo. I had mine plugged into the audio-in jack. So I could tell it to stream me whatever music I wanted from my phone. I guess voice command music is nice. But the novelty wore off for me.
