Promising review: “For the moment, this is the pièce de résistance in my Alexa life. I spend a lot of time in my car. I have been listening to audio books via my Bose Hearphones. Now I have Alexa’s help while driving. These was sold early to Prime Members requesting one. At first, the Echo Auto kept losing connection to my phone. At one point, every time I reentered my car and restarted it. But that seems to be fixed now, 100%. In fact I do not have any current complaints. After pairing my car to my phone, Alexa becomes available as long as your phone has Wi-Fi. She (anthropomorphization intentional) operates just like any other Alexa. Ask and you receive. I listen to audiobooks a lot. But if I want to switch to music, no problem. In the past, one could not call someone or send and receive texts. That is working great. Directions/Maps works fine, as well. You need to give Alexa access to your contacts for this to work. Although, you can also say, ‘Alexa, make a phone call.’ ‘Who do you wish to call?’ ‘555-xxxxxxx.’ All in all, Alexa is almost exactly what I was hoping for. I actually got more. I have purchased two more as gifts. Highly recommended.” —Pierce
