Setting up the Echo Auto
The most important part of setup is to have your phone to hand. The Echo Auto will use your smartphone for its connection to the outside world; you'll need to have the Alexa app installed and you'll need to be signed in.
- Download, install, and sign-in to the Alexa app.
- Grant the Alexa app the permissions it needs.
- Connect your Echo Auto to the 12V power supply using the cable and adapter in the box, or plug into a USB socket.
- The Echo Auto will have an orange light on the front when it is ready to connect.
- In the Alexa app in your phone go to devices > add, tapping the icon in the top left corner.
- From the menu select Add Device > Amazon Echo > Echo Auto.
- Follow the instructions in the app that will guide you through mounting and connecting your Echo Auto.
That's the basics of setting-up your Echo Auto, but you'll notice that there's a lot involved in step 7. Through that final step, you'll be guided through connecting to Bluetooth or 3.5mm cable, based on the type of car that you have.
This is pretty simple and might involve connecting to your car's Bluetooth which is pretty simple as you just need to ensure that your phone is connected to your car's Bluetooth. You'll have to then switch to that Bluetooth connection as your choice of audio whenever you want to use the Echo Auto.
For those using 3.5mm, you'll be prompted to plug it in (again this can be to the car's input or a headunit with an input) and you'll have to switch to the aux input to be able to hear the audio from your Echo Auto - and you'll be guided through setting the volume levels to make sure you can hear things.
