iOttieEasy One Touch Connect Pro (New) - Gen 2 - Hands Free Alexa in Your Car - Car Mount Phone Holder with Alexa Built in for iOS & Android, MFi Certified, Universal

This is a great product is like having an Alexa but in your car. When you buy this product, it will tell you to download the application iottie, however, that application does not work at all so don’t download it. What you need to do is download the Alexa app, Open your Bluetooth on your phone and find the car mount then go to the Alexa app and add the car mount under car accessories (when you try to set up the Bluetooth, it might tell you you have not downloaded the app so just click on it and it will take you to Alexa app) and that’s it you be ready to go. Is worth the money!

I have and still use the version 1 of this product which is simply a cell phone holder. However I will say that even tho that one lacks some of the newer features I still love using it in my truck. When that released this one with alexa I had to try out it out in my corvette since that didn't have an alexa compatible device and thats my preferred way of listening to music on the road.This product with its new improvements is spot on what I was looking for. If I had one complaint its that the unit cannot do QI Charging (wireless charging).That said it works just as well if not better than the original and you should definitely pick up one if you are in the market for a phone holder in your vehicle.

Background Info:I bought the iOttie Easy One Touch Connect Pro (New) - Gen 2 because I liked some of iOttie's previous mounts and wanted to give this one a shot. I still prefer the "non-smart" mounts, but more on that later.Packaging:The packaging differs from the other products iOttie also offers, but it is still aesthetically pleasing.The front of the packaging has been changed to a more minimalist design with the mount "floating" on a seafoam-green backdrop. Plastic is still used to display the mount internally--cardboard or paper could be used as evidenced by the arm and mounting pad box which is already paper.The side of the box still shows the mount being used in a car with infotainment--I see no reason for a "smart" phone mount if your car already has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or some other phone integration system, but that will be discussed later.First Impressions:The mount feels solid and now features a slot design for the lower limit arm--the part that can be adjusted to allow for taller phones. Almost every surface is matte black included the soft-touch padding that holds the phone in place. There is a sticker on the bottom of the front of the mount which says "alexa built-in" although this seems to be more of an advertisement and less of a note to the user.A mute button and micro-USB port (no cover) is present on the rear of the device. The charger used to power the device has an integrated USB port so you will still have access to USB charging if your vehicle only has a single accessory port.More Details:The suction cup and tab mechanism is largely unchanged and intuitive; no reason to fix what already works.The manual included with the iOttie Easy One Touch Connect Pro (New) - Gen 2 no longer mentions a "curing time" or temperature to mount the base and arm, but previously the manual stated that the ambient temperature needed to exceed 40° and to allow at least 12 hours for a bond to form between the mounting pad and the dashboard or glass.Additionally, if you have a car where the dashboard is made of rubber or has been recalled for something like UV degradation (google car dashboard melting recalls), you may have an issue with the adhesive regardless--this isn't to say it won't work, but if you have a mid-2000s Toyota Camry and park in the sun, you might find that the suction cup has melted. Many reviews still complain about suction cups melting, but your mileage may vary.Alexa Integration:The iOttie Easy One Touch Connect Pro (New) - Gen 2 is a cell phone mount with integrated and hands-free Alexa access. As far as the setup process goes, you need to install the iOttie Connect App, the Amazon Alexa app, and any other apps you intended to use such as Pandora or Spotify. Most people will already have these apps installed, but it is something to note. The installation process took me about 20 minutes, including download time and account creation. I did not need to create an account to use the iOttie Connect app. Most of the setup issues I had were due to the Amazon Alexa app, so I won't discuss those.Something else to note is that you still need to interact with the device for things like navigation--probably a permissions issue, but certain states do not allow for personal hand operated devices (phones) to be used while driving.Notes:The purpose of this device appears to be little more than a way to gain access to "auto-mode" for the Amazon Alexa app. With so many other hands-free options like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SYNC, Generic, etc. I see little reason to purchase what is essentially physical DRM. Technically, the Amazon Alexa app is not supposed to work in "auto-mode" unless it is connected to an Amazon approved auto-mode device, but many phones offer easy access to developer mode...I won't get into this either.Unless you have a very old phone, most phones and apps already offer a hands-free mode that don't require an accessory port and multiple apps.TL;DR If you want an Alexa enabled phone mount, this is your best bet; otherwise I would suggest one of iOttie's other offerings because $59.95 (at the time of review) is too much for too little.

Now I don't know if it is my connection or what but sometimes talking to Alexa does not work it just beeps but when it works its helpful and handsfree. About 2 weeks afterI had it the suction fell off. I order another suction base to hold it and it held longer that the original.

the first step to using this product is downloading an app. The app keeps saying that it fails to log me in so I can’t even set it up through the alexa app. I’m disappointed.

Best product ever do not need to search more. This is the third one I’ve bought it’s the best.

iOttie's car mounts are unparalleled! While this one does not have wireless charging, which at this point in cars isn't fast to begin with, the added functionality for Alexa is phenomenal. The iOttie app took a little bit to set up, but is seamless at this point. The windshield suction is incredible. Only weakness is that the micro usb cord is a bit short for my liking. Looking forward to the next iteration.

Worked perfectly as described.Note: You must have a mobile device that allows Two concurrent Bluetooth connections to properly utilize the in car functionaly.

Al principio funciona, se connfiguro todo bien, descargado las aplicaciones que pedía, pero de repente Alexa ya no responde solo sale una luz naranja a pesar de estar conectado a internet, cuando le pides que reproduzca música aveces dice que se tiene que instalar Spotify cuando ya está instalado y configurado.

Alexa works great but the wireless charger does not, now i have to go through the pain of sending it back.I tried it on two different phones and with and without a case

it works great with no problems and no issues wish I bought this ages ago
