Don’t buy it if you live in Australia

Reviewed in Australia on 14 June 2020

Verified Purchase

If you plan to use the unit to assist with navigation, forget it! The unit relies on the navigation app on the phone, which I expected, but what I didn’t know till I tried to use it is that once you say give me directions to xx, you have to press the phone screen to actually start the directions. Since touching your phone is illegal in most of Australia while driving, this makes it completely useless. I have also had problems with the unit actually hearing me and responding, and my car is very quiet with road noise. I have tried moving the unit around the car and the only place it can consistently hear me is if I hold it in from of my mouth like a microphone. So the short answer is don’t waste your money - the idea has promise but a lot of work is required to actually make it useful

Echo Auto works with other Magnetic Mount & uses Maps for driving directions

Reviewed in Australia on 14 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I was excited when Amazon advertised Echo auto releasing in Australia! never believe what we read off google...it was mentioned in a few articles that Echo auto will not release down under.

If you already have Alexa in every room of your house/apartment (like me) this is no different except that it has more microphones for far field voice recognition as it claimed in the ads, it still hears you even if you're in a car with loud music/engine/car/passenger noises. I've tried and tested to have my music on full blast with echo auto mounted on the dash - "Alexa" hears her name quite well except when i mentioned a command...it struggled a few times before it finally heard and did what i wanted it to do (which was "to lower down the volume").

With regards to the air vent mount it came with - i'm not a fan of it as it covers 40% of my air vent (honda CRV). I tried my magnetic mounts on my dash (i have a few already mounted on: one in middle/centre dashboard, one near the driver seat just next to the steering wheel dash area and one other on the front passenger seat corner dash. I tried to see if Echo auto will work with any of my magnetic mounts-and it did (i have those round magnetic mounts-about 33CM in diameter and about 1.3CM in height-it fits so perfectly in the square shaped centre of the Echo auto.

- Note: When asking Echo auto for the nearest whatever it is you're after and if you end up asking for driving assistance/direction, make sure you have your mobile phone unlocked. It links up to your mobile phone default MAPS app and it takes over from there (I have an android Samsung Note 10+ so opened Google Maps app). If you happen to have your phone locked by default, unfortunately it won't load MAPS app and no direction will be provided.

- Also for those who are not aware yet, Echo auto connects to your mobile phone via bluetooth pairing/connection and it will use your mobile phone's data plan, just be mindful if you don't have a big/large mobile data plan and while driving on the country roads where mobile reception are intermittent.

For more features of Echo auto please read reviews from other user accounts, i'm avoiding to repeat what has already been mentioned by others.

In a nutshell, I 'm very happy with my new Echo Auto. I'm giving it 4 stars due to driving directions relying on mobile MAPS app, would've been better if "Alexa" can tell me the actual driving directions without opening MAPS on my mobile phone.

Works well and good value

Reviewed in Australia on 13 June 2020

Setup and installed in the car.
Tried
- asking for the weather
- made a phone call
- asking where I was
- asked how long to get home
- asked for calendar
- asked for shopping list
- asked to play the radio
- asked to play various playlists from Apple Music
All worked great.
Only issues, will need a longer USB cable to tidy up the cabling and I needed to increase the volume in the car to hear Alexa.
You don’t need to do anything with your phone apart from having the Alexa app running in the background.
All pretty seemless.

I like the idea however it’s glitchy. Cables jut out on the right, looks messy.

Reviewed in Australia on 16 June 2020

Verified Purchase

Waited months to buy this in Australia.

Bad points:
Supplied Audio cable is too short.
Supplied USB cable is too short.
Cables should be angled so they can be properly hidden, however they hang out to the right side and it looks messy.
Loses connection to my iPad.
I basically have to yell ALEXA! She doesn’t hear me 30% of the time.

Good points:
Alexa plays my favourite podcasts and radio stations.
Sound quality is pretty good via the 3.5 audio jack.

I really like the idea of this but I think they need to make it a standalone unit. Cable management is currently impossible, mic sensitivity is poor. The weak link is the Bluetooth connection IMO and needs to be done away with. I dunno, I can’t really recommend it right now.

So easy to setup and use

Reviewed in Australia on 14 June 2020

So easy to setup and just what I was needing in my Nissan Pathfinder. Using a taotronics bluetooth device I can now move into the next decade, Nissan's audio tech is behind the times.

Did not use the supplied vent mount, rather added to the ledge below the display screen, perfect.

Used to be Great. NO LONGER WORKS WITH TUNEIN

Reviewed in Australia on 12 April 2022

Verified Purchase

I have had this for well over a year, and have enjoyed its use, and functionality. Especially with the music and radio selections and being a handsfree device. However in the last month this device has essentially become USELESS. In the last month or two Echo introduced the TuneIn jingle, ever since this, the Echo Auto will not play anything from TuneIn. Echo repeats the selection and says playing from TuneIn, the TuneIn jingle sounds, then just nothing. It stops.
TuneIn works on all of my other Echo devices, the only one it has stopped working on is the Auto. I have forgotten the device numerous times, and reset the Bluetooth, and all trouble shooting steps many many times, to no avail.
I have contacted support, they have not been able to provide a solution, and have escalated it. However after a brief google search, it is apparent this has become a wide spread issue with the Echo Auto, since the introduction of the TuneIn jingle.
Until this issue is resolved I would NOT recommend this device, as the majority of stations are on TuneIn, and with TuneIn not working, your just better off using your mobile device to play the radio stations through their direct apps, rather than Echo, which again defeats the purpose of having a hands free device!
I hope Amazon fix this issue, otherwise they are selling a device that does not do what is advertised, which under Australian Law, is in breach of the ACCC!
