    This device is practically pointless. It's just a bluetooth mic extension to direct access the Alexa app running on your phone. It relies on your phones internet connection then and if you drop connection because you live in the "sticks" and have poor coverage you get notified your connection is dropped rather than it having any independent function. Maybe Gen2 fixes this but Gen1 was a major let down.

    Honestly I feel you'd get more functionality out of an echo input using your phone for wifi. Then your phone would be freed up at least.

    Useless now that Amazon no longer allows you to play an album even if you own it. You're only allowed to create a "station" like early 2000's Pandora.

    I've been wanting to try an Echo Auto forever but my Kinivo BT receivers have amazing call quality so I never did. Not sure why anyone would purchase these unless they're driving a vehicle that didn't come with Bluetooth and has a 3.5mm port.

    That's me! 3.5 in and while my car actually has Bluetooth it only works for calls, not anything else. (What a dumb thing) I added an echo auto to let me play music and books and it works great. Pairs correctly every time and does so quickly. Really good audio quality for Bluetooth and no issues with my gen 1 device. Is it limited in usefulness, yes, does it fit my needs perfectly for a bargain price at $14? Also yes.

    Love mine, even though my car has CarPlay. My whole house is smart, so adding this let me do things like preset the thermostat from the car before I head home or make sure I closed the garage (and sometimes close it) without having to use my phone.

    Carplay is the primary for me, but the house talks to Alexa natively.

    Do you use it for calls? If so, how's the voice quality on the callers side? Do callers ever complain?

    Awesome deal! I've been wanting one and have an Echo I got for free to trade in so with the $5 buyback and the 25% comes out to $27 and some change! Yay! I only wish I could say things like "Alexa, turn heat down, turn wipers on etc" lol
