Hello all,
Does anyone have any experience using the Amazon Echo Auto in their FF?
Just a thought as installing the Navi Plus system looks just a bit beyond my capabilities. Mines a 2011 Vogue 4.4 TDV8

Take a look at the Bovee Bluetooth adapter? It just plugs into ipod dock inside the arm rest and allows you to use Bluetooth streaming / audio from your phone.

Then it's just a case of having a car mount for your phone when you need to use it in such way. I have voice activated Alexa and Google (which I use most) set up on my phone and control it all that way. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

Will do. I have one if the small bluetooth adaptors which is ok but i was looking for a little more control.
Never thought about using the Alexa on my phone . Total Dinosaur me.

I have both the Bovee and the Amazon Echo Auto. I have the Echo linked to an Alexa Routine to Open my Gate via Voice when I am approaching my home, so that the gate is fully open by the time I reach the driveway.

Other than the gate operation, I don’t really use it for anything else, but of course I could use it for Music and Google Maps Navigation control.

The Bovee acts to as the Bluetooth Interface for the Sound to pass from my phone to the FF. So the Bovee and Echo Auto work together. The Echo does not replicate the functions of the Bovee.

I have not tried it, but if you use and iPhone, that Siri, could possibly provide all the functions of the Amazon Echo Auto, however for the Gate Integration that I have, I would also need an Apple Homehub running in the house to bridge the Gate to Siri. BTW if anybody is interested in the SmartHome aspects for Gate Integration etc, then I recommend the Shelly1 from Shelly. -------------------------------------
