Okay, so I've been using this iOttie car charger with Alexa for a few weeks now, and here's the real tea ☕
First off - YES, it actually brings Alexa to your car! The voice recognition works surprisingly well with those dual mics. I can ask for directions or play my workout playlist without taking hands off the wheel.
PRO TIP: Skip the iOttie app completely. Just pair via Bluetooth to your phone (worked fine with my iPhone 13), then use the regular Alexa app. Way simpler!
The charging ports are legit - my phone charges crazy fast while my passenger can juice up their device too. That blue status light? Perfect brightness - not blinding at night.
BUT... there's some quirks:
- If your car has limited space, measure first! The square top is bulkier than expected
- Connection can be spotty sometimes when switching between cell towers
- Doesn't work with some newer phone models (check compatibility!)
Overall? If it fits your car and phone, it's a solid 8/10. Already bought a second one for my husband's truck!
