A product description reads: "Designed to enable Alexa hands-free features, such as music, calls, text messages and more, for cars that don't have a built-in voice assistant. Slim design that's easy to place in your car. 5 built-in microphones so Alexa can hear you over music, air conditioning or road noise. Includes a fast car charger to charge your phone on the go."

The Echo Auto has a 4.1 star rating on Amazon. Dennis said: "So easy to install. Worked straight away. The adhesive is really strong and makes the Alexa auto so secure."

Andrew commented: "After trying a few different combinations to make hands-free phone calls in my car, which doesn’t have Bluetooth. I thought I would give this a try. It’s absolutely brilliant. Took two minutes to install and it’s so compact. I’ve got it sitting just behind the steering wheel in front of the dash and it doesn’t obscure anything. Now I get in the car it connects straight away And I can get the News listen to Spotify play my Apple music not to mention ultra clear phone calls. For anyone driving an old car in the same situation as long as you have the auxiliary report, I would have no hesitation this."

Ollie wrote: "This Alexa Auto has been a game-changer for my 10-year-old car! It effortlessly brings modern tech to an older vehicle with Bluetooth connectivity and voice-activated song requests. Now I can play my favourite music hands-free, making every drive more enjoyable and safer. The voice recognition works flawlessly, and it feels like my car has gotten a serious upgrade. Highly recommend for anyone looking to modernize their older car with smart features!"

Tony posted: "I can take Alexa anywhere now." And Mark added: "This is ideal for me, I do long journeys that can be a bit boring. Siri can’t answer questions like the echo, and after a lot of frustration with Siri I bit the bullet. This has made journeys so much better, everything from music to songs are easily accessible. A must have!"

However, Peggy said: "Bought this for my car as my car doesn’t have aux/bluetooth. I thought it would be like a speaker and play music out of this but instead you have to connect it to your car speaker via Bluetooth to play music from your car speakers. This was a huge inssue and really see no point in having it whatsoever if all it does is you can speak to it like a regular Alexa."
