Quite a good app/product. Was able to get Alexa in my car before even Amazon themselves got their own equivalent product. It does sometimes accidentally respond to words/sounds (esp Alexa ads) playing on the radio, and also sometimes require repeated commands. Working on Bluetooth data also means there's a short lag time between commands and responses compared to the Amazon Echo devices at home. If you have frequent friends/conversations in the car, this can pick up more accidental "Alexa's", and you might find yourself reaching for the (nice sized) mute button. But despite these shortcomings, it's still a great little device to help me turn on the home AC/lights...etc when I get into the car, along with other conveniences like helping me time to my favorite streaming station on TuneIn.

Edit; App now takes focus on phone every time Alexa is accessed. Very annoying. please provide an option to stay in the background! down to three stars... and only that good for sake of device. To use properly, need to add an app like audiobt to drive audio over bluetooth without having to switch. Recently, app started pushing to the top whenever activated, and that's annoying and unnecessary. Otherwise, it's Alexa in the car, and that's all win.

sometimes it works good. sometimes i cant get anything from it. i dont know if the app, phone service, or the plugin is the problem. they need to find a good solution to fix it. Do not even waste your time trying to listen to sirius xm. It continuously will say " Cannot play music because it is being streamed on another device."
