Echo Auto connects to Alexa through your phone's Alexa app and plays through your car's speakers via Bluetooth or auxiliary input. Each time you start your car make sure your phone's volume is up and set your car stereo to the correct input. Then say “Alexa”—wait for the chime—and ask.

Hands-free news and entertainment

Echo Auto uses the Alexa app to access your favorite content. Just ask Alexa to play a song, genre, artist, or station from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, and more.
