Did anyone request an invite to be the first to purchase this and receive their invite yet? It was announced in September and I’m hoping it comes out before Christmas. 😊

Not being rude, I swear .... why would someone need this if most phones have Siri or the Google Assistant? Honestly curious. It's just a dot for your car? Or did I miss something?

Alexi is smarter than Siri. Siri almost always just displays web results for me, which doesn't help when driving.

wouldn't work in my car.
Echo Auto connects to most cars that support Bluetooth to play music or that have an auxiliary input.
My 2003 Baja does have 210K miles on it, but no bluetooth or aux port.

I requested an invite too but no word yet.
Every since I got an Alexa for my house, I have said that I wish they had it for my car. I hope it comes out before Christmas too.

Agreed. For the last year or so Siri gives me mostly website links while my Alexa gives me answers. Plus, I use Amazon Music on my phone. I can use Alexa, but I still have to tap the button in the app to use Alexa. With the Echo Auto I won’t have to have that distraction; I can control the music by talking. I’m glad to see people are getting their invitations! If i don’t get one, I’m hoping they become available to the public for Christmas so I can put it on my list. 😊
