On the other hand, there are people who already have CarPlay, so its integration is much better and they will be able, even from the screen, to choose what they will hear next. However, there is a different way to do it, by Echo Autoand the truth is, it didn’t seem like a great product to me, until I tried it.
iPhone + Echo Auto, good result?
Connecting the Echo Auto with the car is very simple, just like if you connected another device via Bluetooth, so it won’t take you any time to do it, since in the end it will be your iPhone who is really connected, and who transmits everything. The Echo will work when you enter the vehicle with your phone, and its operation will be the same as those you may have at home.
Once the march has started, you can say “Alexa, play Cadena Dial live”, or simply ask for a song you want. This will start to sound without problems, something very practical.
How is it different from the iPhone and why did I really like it more than I thought? Well, basically for your convenience, since on the phone, changing songs is not as easy as asking it, although “Hey Siri” also usually works. In addition, you can not only tell him to play you a song, but also “how far am I from Madrid”, or “what is the weather in Córdoba”.
If you have CarPlay this may not be new, because with Siri, as we said, everything is very simple, however, if your car only has Bluetooth, a Echo Auto is so easy to install, configure and usewhich you will love more than you think.
Currently, due to Black Friday, we can find it on sale, and despite not being the cheapest Echo of all, it is not a very expensive product either, so as a Christmas gift, or self-indulgence, I find it a very interesting device.
As a summary of its advantages, we leave you the personal list:
- voice control: Manage music, calls and navigation without distractions behind the wheel.
- Real-time information: Check traffic, weather and news during the trip.
- Smart home management: Control lights, thermostats and other devices from the car.
- Easy installation: Compatible with Bluetooth and auxiliary inputs in most vehicles.
- Various entertainment: Access music, podcasts and stations on services like Spotify or Amazon Music.
Therefore, if you have not tried one yet, but you wanted to, go ahead, for my part I thought it was not a useful device, but once you have it you use it for everything, even to tell you a joke if you are bored, something that you didn’t do with the iPhone even though it also has the possibility, since it is more tedious and doesn’t listen to you as well as Alexa, which comes prepared for it, even if you have the music very loud.
