This is the simplest way to make your car smarter, and it's now just $15
If you're looking for a simple and easy way to add some smarts to your car, then the Amazon Echo Auto 2 is going to be the way to go. While this device usually flies under the radar, we loved it in our review, and it's now even better thanks to a serious discount ahead of Prime Day that slashes the price down to just $15. Sometimes, you just want to talk and have someone else do all the work for you. Well, that's what the Amazon Echo Auto is for, giving you the ultimate hands-free experience. The best part is that it's simple and easy to set up, and also includes a USB-C charger for any devices that might need a charge while on the road. As far as the hardware goes, the Echo Auto features five microphones in order to be able to listen for your voice over the noise disturbances that you may encounter on the road. One thing to note is that, since this is an Amazon product, you're going to have to rely on Alexa, which could be a little different from what you're used to. When it comes to the actions you can perform, the Echo Auto can play your favorite music, take and make calls, message friends, and even check in on and control other Alexa devices you might own at your home or office. For the most part, it's pretty straightforward, but a good accessory to add to your car if you want an enhanced hands-free experience. It's a cheap and effective way to Alexa in your car, and it also works quite well. And while we didn't love its initial price, with this steep of a discount, it's hard not to recommend it. So get it now ahead of Prime Day because we don't think you'll see a better price.

Amazon Lets You Add Alexa to Your Car for Practically Free With 73% Off Echo Auto (Newest Model)
Smart assistants can be a huge help in a lot of aspects of our lives. They're great when you need to set an alarm because you're cooking, or helping to look up an obscure fact because a kid asked you, or you just can't quite remember the name of a specific band from 40 years ago. However, they can also be a huge help when you're driving, but that's a little harder to integrate. See at Amazon It doesn't have to be hard to manage though, and if you're looking for a way to add more Alexa into your life, but specifically your driving, then the Amazon Echo Auto is what you need. This amazing little device is normally $55, but thanks to an incredible Amazon Prime Day deal going on right now, you can get it for just $15, which is 73% off. The Amazon Echo Auto is a completely hands-free device that can easily be placed in your car, and it has five microphones built into it to make sure it can hear you no matter what you're doing. That means it's great whether you're rocking out to Sleep Token, or if you've got the AC blasting because life without it is simply too warm to deal with. Why does it listen though? Well, that's easy. It can do a huge number of different things with no problems. It functions quite similarly to the Amazon Echo Pop, which means you can ask it to play music from a huge number of sources, you can both call and message using nothing but your voice, and you can even enjoy things like podcasts or the news with no issues. If you're a smart home fan, you can even use this to connect to your smart devices there, and control things like your thermostat or even turn the lights off as long as you've got compatible devices. This means you can have the AC going before you even get home, and that's the kind of service you normally have to pay a lot more than $15 for. This device is worth it for a lot of people at $55, so the chance to save 73% on it and get it for just $15 isn't one you should miss out on. Heck, the thing even lets you fast-charge your phone.
