- Echo Auto With Setup And In-Car Demo
I must say that this Amazon Echo Auto was fun after iI started driving with it in my car. The navigation used my phone screen but the voice commands worked excellent. You have to try one.

I think you will like the echoauto, read reviews and buy one here amzn.to/2XeZCBa
Hey Steve, why doesn't mine connect automatically every time I get in the car, I have to reinstall it every time I start the car.
It uses your phone connection and internet to the car not the device
@@TechSteve Yeah, it says Alex is having trouble connecting to your phone, every time I get in the car. I have to reinstall it every time.

This is the first review I saw of yours... if all of your reviews are like this, than I wont bother.. it is very disingenuous to pose as an expert and give such a lazy review. There are a lot of flaws that you left out, and didn:t really give someone an idea of the benefits for a specific individual. read the amazon reviews is your suggestion? than why use you? what just to use your affiliate link.... this is no different than those millennial *influencers* that try to think their view matters... You have every right to have your opinion, and do what you want... like ignore the fact that you a trying to pose as a tech go to...
I was today years old when I learned there were even an echo auto!!! This video has given this old lady much needed info about this device. Thanks!
You’re very welcome
Thank you so much. Just bought this for my daughter. I think she'll love it. And your video will truly help her set it up!!
Brilliant review, very professional in presentation, convinced
me to buy
Thanks Steve for this video. Your review convinced me to buy Echo Auto this coming Prime Day, 10/13/20.
Great video. Explained it all very well. Maybe Xmas will come early for me. Keep up the great work.
Great review! Classy production values. Cool presence. Very practical road sequence. Subbed!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Excellent tutorial made it easy to understand and very helpful
I love the Echo Auto, but there's a couple of points to add. I have found using an aux cable is far better than using Bluetooth. Forget the link to your radio from your phone. I guess it's because there's a complicated interactions between the phone, echo and radio - aux works far better. Second, on an iPhone the map doesn't open automatically when you ask for directions like it does on the Android. A bit of a pain. Thirdly, with any music streaming service, you can select any song or album you fancy. I have Amazon Music and it is brilliant.
Thx for answering my question although you didn't know you did. I now know if I don't have Amazon music, that I can still listen to music 🎵
@@kylehartico4926 Absolutley, there's loads of ways of listening to music - either streaming or playing from your phone.
Received mine yesterday and I love it.
Thank you for the video. Mine is in the mail, should arrive tomorrow.
Did it arrive yet?
Awesome video, Tech Steve! Super helpful & informative! Thanks much! 😃👍
Steve, this was a GREAT video and it really helped me to actually decide to keep the Echo Auto instead of giving it away. With The info in your video, I feel I can install and operate my new echo auto. THANK YOU
You’re welcome Sandy 🙌🏽
Very helpful! Thanks!!
Thank you ..really nice video demo . Well done 👍☘️
Thank you for a great video....🥰
I’ve watched a lot of these supposedly helpful equipment videos and he is absolutely superior to most of them. Thank you. I just watched your video on the echo auto and it helped me so much.
You’re welcome 👍🏽
thank you. This was clear enough for even me to understand.
Thanks Karen
Thanks that was great!
Thank you for the video. I was looking for something small to use in Hotels. But, since it has to be connected to my phone and powered to the wall/battery charger or something, I'll wait for them to come out with something else. I also have their small wall plug in echo, but it needs to use the data from your phone and some places I travel I only get good data up to 4 GB and after that it diminishes. I'll just use my phone for "Alexa".
Thank you Steve. I just bought one today via your link. Great price.
Thanks 👍🏽
Thanks , I need to set my auto echo up but was unsure how to do it
Just got one thanks for the review.
Great video, thanks for uploading. I just got an echo auto and can't get it to connect to my blutooth in my car, hoping you can give me a step by step on how you did it? (Also have a BMW with the same system as in your video). I can hear my music from my phone over blutooth but when alexa tries to connect I only get the "Amazon Alexa" on my screen but no sound?>
Good information. Thanks
Thank you sir. You are a good man.
I wanted to set up an echo input to my new Kant Yu6 speakers but can’t seem to find it anywhere. I was wondering if the echo auto would serve the same purpose?
Thank you for posting. I finally got it to work. Had trouble with audio but it finally worked.
You’re welcome
Hi tech Steve
Thank you!
Well done, Sir!
Thank you. Great review. 👍🏾
👍🏽
@techsteve, my car does not have auxiliary input. How can I connect this to work in my car. I have only one cigarette connector, and I have a dash cam connected. Can you recommend what to use to use both.?
Thank you Great Help.
I have couple of questions.
1: The reason I do not like to play music from my phone in my car, the notification really bothers me. So I use a secondary phone for music. What happens when SMS/Message comes? I believe Alexa bothers you by telling you about it.
2: it depends on WiFi or connects via Bluetooth to my phone?
3: can it work without phone if I have WiFi in my car?
4: what about phone calls from either Bluetooth or AUX?
Great video
This was a excellent well described video great review an o just got one haha
Well explained - thank you!
You’re welcome 👍🏽
Great and explaned well👍👍
Would if your stereo does not have a button for AUX etc and I use a static radio station
Can you make phone calls and open pandora with this device on a iphone?
Great review of the product. Thanks for the step by step setup process. I just ordered one at the Black Friday price and can't wait to try it since I am not happy with Siri in the car
Thanks, you will love it
Hi Anthony t
Hi Steve,
which Bluetooth profiles are supported by "echo auto"?
For me, the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) would be important , and not only A2DP or AVRCP.
Background information:
I’m using an Alexa integrated garage-door opener, which I would like to use with echo auto.
Most oft the time, “FM radio” is the selected input on my car radio (and not the Bluetooth media input).
In this configuration, it’s important that the Alexa’s feedback to my “open Garage” request, is sent via HFP profile, to overrule the radio (like an incoming phone-call).
Otherwise the feedback would be inaudible on the Bluetooth media input of the car radio.
I hope my question was clear…
Amazon web site does mention it, that i can find.
Thanks, I think this is what I want for my road trip!
Have fun!
Was having problem getting it fully set up, wonder because I have Sirius XM on my phone?
Great review, especially driving while talk)g with Alexa. Thanks
You’re welcome Ken
Can you do a video on how to upload itunes to my google play music on my windows laptop do not have Mac
Liked and Subscribed.
Thank you!! Good job and video
Thanks for watching 👍🏽
I got the echo auto but when i press add device the echo auto icon doesnt pop out so im unable to use it i dont know what to do
Thanks for the video really good 👍😁❤
You’re welcome
Good review!
Can I use this device in my house? I want to buy a echo input but I will like to try the echo auto, if I don't like how it works, can I just place it in my house with a speaker on the jack port?
"...Bluetooth to your phone" does this mean it doesn't use any wifi (hotspot from the phone)? Hopefully this would mean it can work with Tracfone (they don't allow hotspot (yet?)).
thank you for the video .I order
My car only has bluetooth for phone calls, not for music. Will the echo auto play through the car speakers? Im just not sure how it works.
Good vid
He did a great job.
Thanks
@TechSteve great video so far! Did you test it to make and hang off calls? Thank you!
I didn’t try, this video is really old.
Echo Alexa its working in Mexico or not? In my alexa app cant see the echo auto option... Just auto accesory. ññ
I drive a Ford F150 and in my current setup where I use Sync, I have to manually enable the Bluetooth option to play music from my phone. If Echo is going to use the car's bluetooth to transmit music..then do I need to go through the Sync bluetooth process every single time?
The echo play thru your phone, the phone connects to your car like normal
Thanks
with bluetooth connection, when you play music from usb or cd or car radio fm/am, and call alexa, it turn automatically the source on bluetooth or not? thanks
It has to be on Bluetooth in order to work accept for inbound phone calls which overrides the system.
Hello, how to do if your car does not have Bluetooth, is there a way?thank you.
can you use voice command to answer incoming phone calls without touching ?
💪🏻💪🏻 nice
Was having trouble setting mine up I did some of the steps right I'm going to try it again later and hopefully with your help that'll work I thought it would be good I thought it answered the phone for you but you didn't mention that so I don't know
You can use it for calls
My thing is… Do I really need the echo auto? Can’t I Bluetooth my phone and use the Alexa app on my phone to do the same thing in my car?
WOW!!! KUDOS TO YOU WITH THIS GREAT LOOKING 4K VIDEO!!! GREAT JOB! GREAT LIGHTING! GREAT BACKDROP! and thank you for a GREAT REVIEW of the Echo Auto. I just seen on Best Buy its half price so was thinking of picking up one before sale ends but THAT DANG CIGARETTE LIGHTER!! REALLY??? I HAVE Not touched a cigarette lighter in 20 years. this will be too many wires dangling. too bad ... sucks it just cant charge outside of the car or for tiny bit w/charger. oh well... thanks again for a great looking video and review!
Thanks, I’m sure you can power it with a usb cable as well
Im a bit confused....cant you just do all that with the Alexa app on your phone?
What device does the audio decoding when listening to music/internet radio? Two reasons for asking.. 1) if I'm using the auxiliary cable, am I using what I consider to be "low-quality" SBC Bluetooth audio between my phone and the Echo Auto? 2) Am I going to hear all my phone notifications through my car's speaker (not desirable in my case)?
You will hear notifications until you mute them, example iphone has a switch on the side
@@TechSteve So whilst you're listening to Internet radio through the Echo Auto, the notifications will pause the stream?
I don’t know, I never used it again after the video, these videos are for information purposes. I use apple carplay on a daily
Uk piracy laws do not allow location option on Alex so, cannot have it detect arrival or leaving home routine options... so unsure will be as popular in UK and EU as in UK.
Completely understandable.
I know I am late to the game but...outstanding video!
I appreciate that Joanne
Can we use echo auto for music and phone for calls, both connected to stereo system at same time??
Yes
Loved your video. Can I use Echo Auto if my car radio isn't working?
Yes, as long as you’re phone has data, it has small speakers built in.
Hey there! Is there an update on about how much data it uses for certain actions? I won’t use it for music, but daily things like adding items to my grocery list, weather updates or finding that great pizza joint. Verizon gives us 2GB per month & I surely don’t need to eat that up, lol.
I wouldn’t use these types of devices with small data plans. There’s no way of knowing how much you use at any given time
Hi Tech Steve,
Thoroughly enoyed your video on Alexa Auto. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas
@@TechSteve Many happy returns to you and your Steve and I hope you have a very happy new year.
Hi Tech Steve, thanks for the video, just a little note, in the UK, if you show the back of the hand with two fingers raised it doesn't mean peace, quite the opposite (it means "F**K O*F"), two fingers raised with the front of the hand is the peace or similar gesture.
Don't blame me it's just how it is, anyone with any sense would take it as a friendly gesture from you, just thought that I would make you aware. good luck and keep the tech videos coming.
In the USA it doesn’t mean that at all, however i changed it on newer videos
Hello. Thanks for the video. I'm thinking not use the echo auto in the van of the car... Can I use it in a other place?
Thanks for the drive around San Diego. PIZZA??! When you’re just a few short blocks from the original Rubio’s and fish tacos?
Lol, you’re right
I have 2007 Jeep liberty sport and I don't have Aux or Bluetooth capability. Is there another way I can connect and used in my truck? I just want to use it as hands free phone.
You can try an fm transmitter
@@TechSteve Okay thank you I have one with an Aux output on it.
can 2 cars share one alexa account with echo auto?
My car doesn't have Bluetooth or Aux. Can I connect it to my phone to use.
You wouldn’t need it, how about an fm modular? Here’s an example amzn.to/3sXj9UB
Yeah I want to buy it
Didn't connect in my 2020 Kia Soul GT
Hi do you need Bluetooth or a jack plug in your car or does it work without either of these things?
You have to have one of them to play through car speakers
How can we change language in echo auto?
How about connecting it to Google maps, I want to see where the place is that I'm asking about?
Just use Google
can you use spotify through this and send texts/answer calls through iphone like you would with siri
You can setup Spotify as the default music service and use that but alexa systems don’t send text or receive phone calls
You can make calls with alexa
I'm not sure if it's because you edited the video but are you not having to say Alexa before you ask a question or can you just ask a question and it answers
What I wanted to see if you can use it to take and send call hands-free.
I followed your tutorial. Why isn't the music pumping out of my car speakers? It's only coming from the phone.
I’m not sure about your setup, alexa auto is connected to my phone and my phone is connected to Bluetooth in my car.
I got a 1996 Ford Taurus and the lighter don’t work nor my cassette player or radio,
Connect a Bluetooth speaker and sat it on your dash
Just wondering, can it hook up to the car's wifi?
It works with your phone normally, sorry I didn’t test it that way
So it's not voice activated. you have to push a button to give it a command?
It’s voice activated, I showed demos at end of video
Sorry, you lost me when you asked about the Dallas Cowboys. LOL
Well done video.
Lol, Dem Boyz
@@TechSteve LOL. I like Zeke, only because I'm a Buckeye
i'v had one for months and haven't used it yet.
So will it play my playlist from my home studio unit?
Only music on Amazon supported cloud music services like Spotify
Hey Steve I purchased from Amazon FM transmitter and I still here static when I try to use my Echo auto device. Any suggestions what I could do? I would love to keep this device.
You can try a better transmitter or adjust the different freq to see if it cleared up. Not much you can do. This brand is good amzn.to/3zriBLc
@@TechSteve Thank you I will give it a try.
Ok, best of luck to you.
FYI....Lowe's Home Improvement stores sell these now.
What is the difference with this and using the Amazon Alexa app on my phone? If I have to run it through my Aux input why couldn’t I just use the app?
The Grow Monster I was wondering the same thing. I open the Alexa app on my phone, play though my vehicle’s BT and seems to be the same thing as the echo auto.
I guess amazon didn’t think it through, it the time it was a great idea 🧐
