Prime exclusive deal, I haven't tried one of these myself and they seem to be a little hit and miss going by the comments in previous deals posted but thought I'd get one to try.

  Does this work as a speakerphone for regular phone calls / WhatsApp calls?

  So what's the difference from Google on Android auto

    Was thinking the same thing. Or Siri that’s integrated in via CarPlay …

      I think this is intended for cars that don't have CarPlay but regular bluetooth head unit.

    my car has carplay and I still have the echo auto- this allows me to call, drop in or make announcements to other alexa devices at home " im on my way home, preheat the oven mum etc".

      Talking about Android auto as everyone knows Siri is pretty crap

  I have one on my nearly dead 2003 Golf and I love it although I already do use Alexa.

  Basically I can tell Alexa to play my tunes, give me directions or make a call without having to take my eyes off the road.

  If you have an older car I highly reccomend this if you like using Alexa

  Why can't I just use Google assistant on my phone?

    whitelie on 22/06/2022 - 09:27

    Biggest use case would be for cars that have an aux input but no Bluetooth on their HU

      capslock janitor on 02/07/2022 - 22:03

      so for cars with no blutoof

  heesh911 on 21/06/2022 - 21:05

  I have one of these plugged into my aux input for an older car. It acts as a Bluetooth handsfree and also plays tunes or nav guidance handsfree. Never used Alexa before but for $30, it was worth the investment

    are you able to make and receive phone calls on this device?

    • 

      CacheHunter on 23/06/2022 - 00:18

      What i like about it is the microphones work way better than relying on my phone, when it's in it's cradle. I've mounted the echo on the dash directly behind the steering wheel. It also seems to cut out a lot of the driving/road/engine noise.

  Is there any way to be able to use my Youtube Music subscription with it?

  I don't believe they make it easy because of Amazon vs Google.
