It is like Alexa had Garmin's baby. This is an awesome tiny little Alexa with GPS built in. The closest thing to Knight Rider you can get. Would be cool to be able to change name and voice. I have many Alexa products and this was a good addition to my collection.
I purchased the 1st one and it did not work. Would not stay connected via Bluetooth and could not hear. I submitted through Amazon for a replacement and they sent me a return label so I did not have to pay for return shipping. I got the new one in around 2 days. awesome. This one works like I had hoped this to work. With Garmin and Alexa merged into one unit this is great. everything Alexa can do and add in giving me directions. Now on the way home from work at 1 am I can say "Alexa... Tell LIFX turn on living room light" and it is on when I get home. I do think Bluetooth could be stronger but it works great.

Enjoy Music, Infotainment and MoreIf you can ask a simple question or pose a straightforward request, you’re ready to use Garmin Speak to bring Amazon Alexa Voice Service into your vehicle. Just say the word, and you can connect with a wide array of free and subscription-based music services. Ask Alexa in your car to play music from Amazon Music, Pandora, Sirius XM and more. Additional streaming services, such as Spotify, are expected to be added as available. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, Amazon Prime Music lets you stream and enjoy more than 2 million songs. You can also play audiobooks, radio stations, news briefs, and more. If it’s information you’re seeking, you can ask Alexa to look up answers to your questions in Wikipedia or provide the latest weather report, traffic update, news briefing or your favorite podcast. |
Your Go-to on the GoGarmin Speak voice service lets you keep both hands on the wheel while using your voice to activate, access and interact with various Alexa skills. It’s easy to create shopping, grocery and to-do lists — and then tell Alexa to add any items you think of while en route. For real convenience, just ask Alexa to put items in your online 'shopping cart' and to order them for home delivery. You can also ask Alexa to check what’s on your calendar for today — or add an appointment to it. Locate a gas station. Or make a dinner reservation. You can also follow the latest sports scores, or find out how your stocks are trending. There are thousands of Alexa skills available for download from the Alexa Skills Store. Just say the word, and Alexa is ready to make things happen. |

Just tell it where you need to go ('Alexa, ask Garmin to find the nearest gas station'), and Garmin Speak does the rest. Responding to your voice commands, the device provides spoken directions with street names and shows arrows with audio prompts to indicate which lane you need to be in for your next turn or upcoming exit. There are no fees or subscriptions required for your navigation data. Map information is automatically kept up to date. And live updates on current traffic conditions and possible delays are yours for the asking. |

Remotely Control Home DevicesWith wireless 'smart' home connectivity, Alexa adds to your comfort and convenience by letting you remotely control various compatible devices and systems — including lights, locks, thermostat and more — via spoken commands from your vehicle. For example, if you forget to lock your front door, you can do so remotely from your car without turning back when you’re already into your commute. Or, if you realize you won’t be home for some time, you can remotely reset the thermostat so you’re not cooling an empty home. It’s automation that works to make life simpler. |
Keep Traveling Companions EntertainedWhen you’re on the road, Garmin Speak voice service can help keep passengers entertained with interactive games, trivia and more. They can even ask Alexa to pick a card, flip a coin or tell a few jokes. Garmin Speak is a congenial road companion that always travels light. |
Connect with Your Car StereoWith its small footprint and compact design, the Garmin Speak device mounts unobtrusively on your windshield. Simply download the free Garmin Speak app to your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone. Garmin Speak will use your phone’s data connection to stream Alexa responses through your vehicle’s stereo system via Bluetooth or AUX port cable. |

I really want to like this, but its performance is soo bad
I really want to like this product, but getting it to work a series of steps that don't always yield the best results.Ultimately I am looking for an Echo for the car, I applied for the Amazon Echo Auto but wasn't selected, in the meantime I bought the Garmin Speak just for the Echo functionality.The Device:The physical construction is flawless. Its what an Echo should be. Its round, has a blue ring at the top, and is cylindrical in shape (the Echo Auto has an odd wafer shape to it). The mount is adequate with a super-powerful magnet that more than adequately hold the unit in place. The power is a USB micro, the positioning is odd, and doesn't leave a lot of options for an "OEM" installation appearance.. I.E. you will not be able to completely hide the cord.The App:When the device works it is what you would expect to to be. It doesn't do all of the things a full sized Echo can do, like flash briefing. My main reason for purchasing this was simple: I just wanted to be able to ask Alexa to play different types of music without having to touch my phone. Without an Echo in the car, i have to look at my phone in order to navigate the Amazon Music selections in to make a choice. In theory Echo can do that hands free. After installing the Garmin speak I found that I could do exactly what I wanted to do. And for the first day things seemed good, but then the device started having issues. Randomly the Echo would disconnect, and initiate what appeared to be a reboot. These reboots would begin to happen more frequently. On a trip that took and hour and a half, the device probably rebooted a couple of hundred times, I actually lost count. On a trip to the gym I counted three songs and the device rebooted 8 times. Each time it interrupted the music play. In troubleshooting, i have reinstalled the app, and removed other apps that I felt may interfere with the Garmin Drive app. No luck. What I have noticed is: If I reboot my phone prior to a trip, wait for my phone to be ready, then reboot the Garmin Speak, the reboots are greatly minimized, to perhaps 2 in a 20 minute trip. I see that other people have had this issue, and have come to the belief that its due to a connection issue. After watching my device and the available service I do not believe its a simple connection issue. I believe the App is crashing and rebooting for whatever reason. If I reboot my phone, then the garmin things are OK (not great but ok). If I step away from the car with my phone, like to go into a store and come back the problem returns (a is very bad). I hope that Garmin is aware and is going to fix this issue. At this time, I do not recommend purchasing this device.The navigation:I didn't purchase this with the intent of using the navigation, but since its there I have tried it. The Ford Sync is pretty difficult to use, the Garmin (when it works) is much easier. The logic in Alexa makes finding locations a single question process where the Sync asks about 6 questions. The display on the Garmin Speak is absolutely cool. I didn't expect for there to be a display, its seamless well integrated and not overdone. If this device becomes more stable I will use this more often, that being said, I asked the Garmin for direction this morning, and after a minute of the blue circle was told it couldn't help me, even after asserting that my destination was only a couple of miles away. So it knows were the destination is, it just cant figure out how to get there.At this point, its much easier to simply use my phone to select the music I want to hear. The Garmin Speak makes a simple task much more difficult. its fun to play with it to see the behaviors and how they change, but if you are looking for something solid, this is not the product. If you want something for navigation, this device could actually be dangerous in that if it reboots at a time you need to make a routing decision, you may miss your opportunity. Its funny because I can stream either Pandora or Amazon Music from my phone and I have never had a connection issue. Not once. but when streaming Amazon Music through the Garmin Speak, the service is unusable.Bug List:1. When I get into the car, Garmin Speak does not automatically connect to the phone. At a minim I have to reboot that Garmin Speak2. Garmin Speak Reboots at random intervals3. Garmin Speak fails to deliver directions even if it indicates it knows where the destination is

I've also been an owner of Garmin devices for many years, as I travel extensively for work-- some 50,000 - 75,000 miles flying each year. And it just so happens my last Garmin was left in a rental car, and it wasn't able to find its own way home.
I installed this device in a matter of minutes, and I've figured out many things, while some are still to be discovered or are a part mystery.
The device presents itself really as a "Mini Alexa"... from the startup sounds, to the ring light, and how it talks, responds and acts. Installation was quite easy with the Garmin app, Bluetooth pairing, then bumping me over to the Amazon Alexa app to enable the Garmin Skill. I answered two questions about my car, and I was off!
I didn't read any directions. I just started asking:
Alexa, Garmin: How far is the nearest Walmart?
Alexa, Garmin: Navigate me to the nearest Get-Go Gas Station.
Alexa, what's on my calendar tomorrow?
Alexa, what's the forecast?
Alexa, how far am I from ______ ?
As I said, we live in the future! This device can single-handedly (pun intended) keep your hands off the smartphone, and keep your eyes on the road. We're great friends, and I'm glad that I can now take her with me.
I'm using her with a 2013 Nissan Altima with built-in Navigation and Bluetooth. Navigation has come so far in the last few years I rarely ever use the built-in one, rather relying on Waze for most navigation.
It boots up quickly, plays well with all of my other in-car Bluetooth devices including, but not limited to:
-Cobra IRAD
-Nissan Bluetooth for Auto
-Automatic OBDII Connected Device
-iPhone 8 Plus and various Androids
-Smart Watch
-Fitness Band
Enough can't be said about the real BEAUTY of the screen that provides navigation clues. It uses a combination of voice, color cues, and visual data to guide you to the destination, and it works very well. The fine details of presentation are very beautiful. It feels like a natural part of the vehicle, and within a few minutes of understanding the colors, you can start seeing these with your peripheral vision and get the clue without having to look directly at it.
So what could be improved? Yes, I rated it 5 stars because I think it's that big of a deal, of a great thing, but there is always room for improvement in 1.0 devices. Here is my "wish list":
-I wish there were a mounting option that was more "mobility" focused so I could take it from rental car to rental car more easily.
-I wish there were a companion app that would visually navigate me on my phone screen if I chose to do so, for complex intersections, etc.
-I wish it could access the Spotify music app on my phone and play playlists of music that I have sync'd offline
-I wish the power cable ended with USB so you could make better use of power outlets in the car, weave it through tighter spots in concealing it
I'll be honest, I am very excited for the future of this device! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask those above. I am on the road a lot and this is installed in my personal car, but I am usually home every 7-10 days and will test your question if I don't already know the answer.
We live in the future, and it's BEAUTIFUL!!! :)

I've been a fan of Amazon Alexa / Echo since the beginning. We're good friends by now, and once I heard I could bring her with me in the car, I didn't have to know many details, I was sold. I ordered right away.Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2017
