[Event Ended] Alexa Hits the Road

Benjamin_Taublib · January 9, 2018, 7:23pm

I’m excited to be able to tell my Ecobee to Raise or lower the temperature in my home before I arrive home!

When I first saw this, I was overly excited. I can now make my older car pretty up to date. That’s great since it may be a while since I can buy a new one. Of course, they only manufacturer I trust is Anker. I’d love to have this specifically for the Bluetooth functionally. Now I don’t have to rely on FM radio to hopefully play what music I like. I can stream my favorites while keeping my device charged at the same time! Anker rocks!

I’m most looking forward to turning my not too smart car into a smart car… with Alexa. Basically as far as features (Bluetooth, fm transmission, dual charger, Alexa, etc.) it checks all the boxes I wanted. For a crazy good price.

The feature that I’m most excited about is the Alexa feature. This would be perfect for my wife’s car since we already have several Alexa devices at home and this would be the perfect fit for my wife and her vehicle. Also, our boys would love having Alexa in the car. But, on second thought, that might cause headaches to the parents.

I love that it’s totally hands free!!

Hands free Alexa in a car sounds great

Looking forward to Alexa in the car. Awesome

Sounds great, I bet it’ll work a lot better than Siri

This would truly mean hands free driving. Looking forward to having Alexa in my truck 1994 Toyota pickup.

I am curious about the other ecosystem…since I’m already on the Apple ecosystem. I haven’t gotten into the Smart Home ecosystem yet, perhaps this will change my mind.

Chris.ptacek1 · January 9, 2018, 9:53pm

Looking forward to getting updates on sports scores as well as controlling my homes devices

Iris_Navarro · January 9, 2018, 10:03pm

This is great! I would be able to stuff at home from my car

I wonder how well the voice pickup on the VIVA works. And how it works with an apple device as shown in the pictures

Sync contact list locally and call anyone on my phone.

Steven_Epstein · January 9, 2018, 10:57pm

ambient noise cancellation technology. Now this I can use!!!

armedninja123 · January 9, 2018, 10:59pm

Looking forward to being able to use Alexa inside my car for more hands-free control.

Darrin_Williamson · January 9, 2018, 11:22pm

Must get me one of these, my wife will think she’s married Michael Knight, not easy to pull off in a Toyota Sienna

Bill_OBrien · January 9, 2018, 11:48pm

Can’t wait!

Jason_Williams10 · January 10, 2018, 12:02am

Just the voice calling feature alone would be great. It is really hard for me to pull over in the area that I live in. Even if I don’t win I play on buying this! I’ve triednothers but they all fail. I cannot wait to see this in action!

Well reading through the cool features, its really hard to pick a good one I like the most. Asking for directions is sweet, being able to request a song you really want to hear (radio is so dissappointing anymore) is also cool.

But to be most honest, the greatest feature is hands free calling and answering. To make sure I dont do something stupid with my phone while driving it goes into my glove box. Helps to not pay attention, but hurts when I miss calls and traffic alerts. Alexa voice in my truck for this would be a life saver.
