Fairly straightforward using the Alexa App on my phone to create a hotspot which Alexa can connect to for the internet connection. Used the USB in the arm rest for power and the Aux in input for the sound connection to the cars sound system (briefly tried connecting it via BT but thought it easier using AUX).
I had left the Echo on the end of the armrest (between the hinge and the storage netting) so I can open the armrest.
Slightly concerned I will damage the power/aux in cables though as they are trapped in the armrest door when shut.
I was surprised the unit stayed on even after I took the key out of the ignition (not sure if the power goes off to this USB after a certain amount of time). For now I unplug it when I leave the car. When I turned the engine back on it remembered the settings and carried on working.
It works well
. Picked up my voice without issue (over loud music!). Even turned the heating up at home. I no longer have to add music to the cards HD, just ask it to play what I fancy. Just need a USB splitter for the armrest port as I use that for my phone too.
