The Echo Auto connects to Alexa through the Alexa app on your phone and plays through the speakers of your car through an auxiliary input or the Bluetooth connection of your smartphone. Update your task lists, set reminders, or check your calendar while your look is on the road. Just ask for directions and Alexa will connect to compatible apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze on your phone. Alexa can even help you make calls, make Drop In on compatible Echo devices at home, or send a Communiqué that you're going home.
