My husband bought something called Amazon Echo Auto and installed it in his 911, and he wrote an article about it. Please take a look if you would like to read it.

Amazon Echo Auto

The other day.Amazon Echo Auto is now available in Japan.It was already available overseas, and I wanted one so badly that I had thought about importing it several times.

Echo Auto is an application that enables the use of Amazon Echo in the car, and is called "Echo Auto".Alexa, ________...It is something that allows you to play music or listen to the news if you say, "I'm not a musician.

I would like to report my impressions and review of the installation on my Porsche 911.

We have been using Amazon Echo and Google Home quite frequently in our home for quite some time.Google Home in the living room and Amazon Echo in my study.Uses.

It is very useful not only for listening to music and radio, but also for operating home appliances such as TVs and air conditioners. (I am the only one in my family who uses it...)

Setting up the Echo Auto is very simple: connect the USB cable to the unit and attach it to the air conditioner vent along with the included mount. Then, launch the Alexa app on your phone, "add device," and follow the instructions to get set up in minutes.

Once set up, Echo Auto will respond to the call of 'Alexa' and will be able to listen to music, news, and much more.

Installing Amazon Echo Auto on a 911

By the way.This Echo Auto itself does not connect to Wifi or cellular networks.Echo Auto only connects to your smartphone via Blutooth, and music is played from the Alexa app installed on your smartphone. In short, Echo Auto can be thought of as a voice remote control that controls the Alexa app on your smartphone with your voice.

[Echo Auto] - (Bluetooth) - [Phone (Alexa app)] - (Bluetooth) - [Car audio].

Therefore, streaming music and other communication fees that are of concern will use the phone's communication fees, and not the Echo Auto itself, which requires a separate contract or anything like that.

So far, my most common use of the Echo Auto is to listen to the radio.Especially in the case of the Porsche 911 (992 model), there is no AM radio to begin with, only wide FM.Therefore, it is impossible to listen to AM NHK radio, but with Echo Auto, you can say, "Alexa, call NHK Daiichi" and it will call NHK Daiichi via Radiko.

Also, checking the morning news on the way to work is a good idea.Alexa, put on the latest news.It can read out Yahoo News topics, play the latest NHK radio news, and even play the "I'm a fan of theWhat is today's schedule?It reads out your Google Calendar appointments with "+". Naturally, when listening to music, you can also use the "Alexa, call ____.or ".Play the XX playlist.Or something like that, and it's easy to play back.

It was so convenient that I installed it on my Nissan Note e-power NISMO.

Until now, I had to use a switch on the steering wheel to select songs, or touch the screen of the navigation system to operate it.It is very convenient to operate the system using only your voice, and most importantly, it is very safe.If you haven't used Amazon Echo yet, why not take this opportunity to start in your car? I think this kind of voice AI will be more useful in a car, where you can't keep your hands off the wheel, than at home.
