Q: QuestionWill this device text message in the car?

Asked 5 years ago by Nissan.

• A:Answer Possible helpful tip (instead of texting) if you're driving and you have Echos in your home, you can "broadcast" to your other devices. For me, we have an Echo in the kitchen (and there's ALWAYS someone in the kitchen), so if I'm in the car and driving home - but running late - I'll say: ME: Alexa, broadcast ALEXA: What would you like to broadcast? ME: I'm running behind, but I'll be home in 20 minutes. ALEXA: Okay, broadcasting.... Very helpful. Just an idea for you....

Q: QuestionHow does Roav access Alexa … how do I invoke Alexa ? Call Alexa - nothing happens … I even pressed middle button and also installed ROAV VIVA app on my iPhone

Asked 4 years ago by Paco1953.

• A:Answer you need to make sure that you have it sync'd with your phone, if you haven't downloaded the app and set it up, then it won't connect. it has to have some where to connect to and use as a signal. it is simple a blue tooth interface to your phone and then to your car radio via BT, Aux or FM. good luck

Q: QuestionHow do I get Alexa to work ? Can Alexa access and work with my car radio or any other parts / devices on/in my car ?

Asked 4 years ago by Paco1953.

• A:Answer You need “echo auto” The regular Alexa (or echo dot) is not meant to be used in your car. Step one is purchase echo auto . Step two is open up the Alexa app on your phone . Step three is click add devices and it will find the echo auto and then add that . Final step is use your Bluetooth on your radio in your car to attach it and you’ll hear it . Simple.

Q: QuestionI know a normal Alexa, you ask to play a certain playlist or radio station in order to play music... but since it’s a blue tooth connection, does that mean i can play spotify on my phone and it will start playing through the car?

Asked 4 years ago by paige.

• A:Answer It should work yes when I start playing a YouTube video it does work through the Bluetooth in my car so Spotify should work the same way just start playing it even if you’re in the middle of playing a song with the echo auto and it should just shut off and start playing whenever you’re play next

Q: Questionwill it work on a motorcycle

Asked 4 years ago by cowboy.

• A:Answer Eco auto is what you need but it really depends on your speaker system I happen to be a DJ so that really depends on how powerful your speaker system is on your motorcycle and needs to be loud enough that It will drown out the wind and drown out your motor on your motorcycle so it’s really not necessarily the echo’s fault it has to do with the volume……
