I put in an invite request for it. I kept wanting to talk to my car radio.

Ha! I put in a request as well.

I have Alexa on my phone, but you have to press the button to get it to come one.

OK Google is beyond useless.

I look forward to getting this either early or with everyone else.

You could always use the Echo Dot in your car as long as the car had bluetooth & USB connection. Wi-fi if applicable. However, currently the DOT cannot......

==============

From reading Amazon's website, you need a "smartphone" to use the "Echo for auto"......

Since I don't have a cell phone I'm SOL. However, it will be interesting to know if an auto passenger who does have a smartphone can activate the features.

I like OK Google and use it all the time instead of typing in a question to search. I don't find it useless at all.
