Has anyone purchased/used an Echo Auto in their A5 yet? I finally got an invitation, to buy one, but not sure I’m interested.
From what I understand, you have to use either Bluetooth or plugged in via Aux. Given this, I am assuming I would have to utilize the external sources MMI input to hear Alexa (responses, music, news, etc). Anyone have any hands on experience? Likes, dislikes?

No Thank You - Nor would I install the FaceCrook "Personal Communications Device. Neither device in either my Home nor my Car.

Other than wanting to say “Alexa, do <xyz>” to have her do whatever I want, I guess there’s not much value unless it’s native or like CP/AA. It’s only $25, but I’m probably going to pass, unless the better 2/3rds wants it for her non-CP Q5. If she wants it I’ll be the one setting it up and will report back on how it goes.
@Nikon1 - ha! you’d hate my house! Not a Facebook user, but I have Alexa and other smart devices galore! It’s awesome to use voice commands and have lights all come on/off when I arrive or leave the house.
