If you've ever felt the urge to add Alexa to your car but have always been put off by the cost of actually buying an Echo Auto, you're in luck. Amazon's Early Prime Day deals have knocked down the price of the in-car gadget by an absurd amount.
Right now you can pick up the Amazon Echo Auto for just $14 at Amazon. Not only is that 73% off the original $55 price tag, it's also the lowest price the Echo Auto has dropped to since its release. Which means there's no better time to bring Alexa to the wide open road.
So what exactly do you get from the Echo Auto? The biggest bonus is that it is a full Echo, albeit slightly smaller than the one you have at home. This gives you hands-free access to Amazon's assistant while you're driving.
Amazon also promises that the five built-in microphones will be able to pick up your voice and commands, no matter what kind of noise is going on around you — whether it's from the road, music, or A/C.
Alexa adds the ability to make calls and send messages using your voice, and drop into your Echo devices at home. So if you want to talk to your family or roommates, but don't want to make an actual phone call, the Echo Auto makes that happen.
This means that the Echo Auto also offers all the same smart home controls as the Echo you have at home. So if you want to get one of your smart home gadgets ready and running when you pull into the driveway, all you have to do is ask.
It's also a Bluetooth adapter for your phone, for those of you who don't have wireless connectivity in your car. It essentially unlocks all the music, podcasts and audiobooks on your device — even if they're not coming from an Amazon streaming service.
