Amazon Alexa products are everywhere these days you see him in the bedroom the kitchen the bathroom and we're also starting to see them sneak into the car this is the rove Viva and it's bringing those Alexa features that used to in-home into the car now you might be thinking why would I want Amazon Alexa in my car I'm supposed to be driving but there's actually a lot of cool uses for it so you can do things like control your favorite music services like Spotify or Pandora just with your voice you can ask for directions and it can open it up in Google Maps or ways you can even order things from Amazon so if you're driving and you're like prep I forgot to order toilet paper you can do that right from your car and because it's connected to Alexa you can control all the different skills you're already using so say you're getting home and you want to turn on the lights you just ask Alexa in your car and when you walk in the lights are already on so the way this works is you take the dongle and plug it into your 12-volt outlet in your car and it looks just like a normal car charger and it actually is it has two fast charging ports so you can charge your phone or your tablet or anything you like then you head over to your phone and download the Rho vive app connect it to the dongle and then set up your Alexa preferences and then you're pretty much ready to go so you will need your phone in order for this to work whether it's an iPhone or an Android phone but every time you get into your car it'll automatically connect aside from the two charging ports that are built in you also have two microphones that are built-in and that's so it can hear you and I found that even when driving around and you hear the road noise it still picks up your voice relatively well and if you don't want to be heard there's a mute button right in the middle and you just push that and it has a little bonus if your car doesn't have hands-free calling built-in you can make phone calls through the vive in the few days that I've been using the vive I've really enjoyed it I've used it for directions and for asking things like the weather and the location I'm going to and it works as advertised although I will say that it's a little bit better on Android just the limitations that iOS has having an Android phone will make this experience almost perfect so why would you buy this and I think there's one specific reason and that's if you're already invested in the Alexa ecosystem sure there's other assistants out there but if you're ready--you so using Alexa switching over can be kind of weird the vive you can use your alexis skills like you're used to just in one more in your car if you want to pick one up for yourself it goes for fifty dollars but if you use the code viva Cara you can get it for $10 off through March seventh week for that is down in the description I would like anchor for sponsoring this video and be sure to let us know down below in the comments what you think would you put this in your car I hope you enjoyed this video if you did be sure to hit subscribe and hit that notification bell so you can see when new videos are up oh thank you all so much for watching again I'm Matt Gonzalez with TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you next time
