Excellent product.
I was very excited to receive this and install it in my vehicle. I've been using echo dots throughout my house for quite a while, and wanted to extend the hands-free functionality to my drive. First, the product performs exactly as it is designed and does exactly what I expected it to. However, I have a couple of issues that affect how I am able to use it.
First, when leaving my home's wifi network and getting onto the cellular network, there is a disconnect that causes the echo auto to have problems. Though this isn't a fault with the echo auto, it does affect how it's used.
Second, because of the data connection issue, when my iPhone connects to my truck's bluetooth, it automatically starts playing the music saved on my phone. Once the data issue is resolved, I can tell alexa to start playing something else, but I have to wait until the data issue corrects itself.
Finally, the only other issue I have with the device is when I plug by phone into the truck's usb charging port, the media input automatically switches to the usb and therefore stops playing. This can easily be resolved by using the power plug adapter instead of the USB ports, but I liked the look of not having another thing plugged in.
All in all, the echo auto was a good purchase, and I am going to by 3 more for my wife and kids. The hands-free functionality is very nice!
