Finally finally I'm a truck driver I've been needing this forever I have to physically touch my phone to get Google Assistant to work now I can use my voice
I am sure that his car has Bluetooth. He said that it does have a place for an aux cable to plug in. This device connects to the phone via Bluetooth but uses an aux cable to connect to the car.
I've had one of these for a few months and works really well with my 12 year old Ford Territory (Australia) and compares well with my much newer built in Android Auto Ford Sync 3 equipped Ford Escape. Apart from the screen of course. I love it and makes my older car feel up to date and agree with Brett, is something I've wanted for years. Thanks for the review Brett, awesome as always.
I have "ok Google" turned off on my phone because I use the speakers at home and want the speakers to repond and not my phone. If you have the hot word turned off can you still use the button on the Anker to activate the assistant? I don't want to have to turn on and off the hot word detection on my phone when I get in and out of the car.
Pro-tip: I use routines to shorten any "Ask X to Y" commands. In example of your garage, new routine so when you say "Close my garage" google assistant does "ask my q to close my garage" (or however its actually spelled)
I have had mine for about a week. I have enjoyed so far. This device is so much better than google auto, I know I've used both. The sound may be a little weaker than if your phone was plugged directly in.
This looks pretty sweet! It can be frustrating using Google Assistant in my car even though my phone sits directly infront of me so anything that helps is a winner
As I’ve seen in the video, It worked perfectly fine. I noticed it works better than Siri on the AirPods, mainly to read and send messages. This device deserves a 10 score
Your work-around setup reminds me of the ancient hands-free device I made back in the day of cassette players. I cut the plug end of an old wired headset with the tip for both the mic input and the headphone output and spliced on a small corded mike and one of those cassette shaped converters you could plug a portable CD payer into to play through the cassette player on your radio. Sadly they've all done away with the headphone jack on all but a cheap Motorola model I think. And even then the last few that still existed I think only had audio out and no mic input.
Man TY, this vid is right on time. I purchased the Garmin Speak & I love the device itself, but after a week of testing, and being sent out of the state when asking to navigate home, or getting directions to a business named after any word I spoke, I was going to return it today!! While I don't want to use Googles Eco System in my car and I LOVE the GARMIN & ALEXA paring even tho it only works with Apple devices, this takes me back to my original thoughts of just needing a better mic connection between my devices. Great to know it's not just MY system. I have been using the Bluetooth fm transmitter as that was my first purchase, I have a van and was able to plug it into the back of my vehicle, use a USB extention cable and run whichever device back to the front, or now use the double USB & Car Charger cup holder I found on sale for 10 bucks at Autozone. I can now plug the FM trnsmttr into the one CC port and my camera or other devices into the other or either of the USB ports. This also now gave me 6 to 8 varied ports to use...lol.. yet I still could not get my Garmin Speak to hear me over the wind and traffic noices etc. I saw a vid from Pixels Cracked where he was setting up an Infotainment System and used a FM tranmttr with a mic on it and I am wondering if you've tried this as it seems it would be a much more reasonably priced device, and if so, maybe you could do a vid on this because every single vid I've seen on the GS, Roav, and other Alexa enabled devices have spoken of the exact same problems. SO LET'S GET TO THE NITTY GRITTY OF THIS ISSUE as I think Amazon is delaying the Amazon Auto until it is figured out and we spend quite a bit of money otherwise. I'm going out to test some mics myself today and will be checking back with you
Exceptional video ! ! Incredibly informative and helpful ! This is the product I’ve been hoping for, and your video demonstrates its use perfectly. THANKS !
@@angiehc77 correct, the roav devices which are better value put out a variable FM signal which your radio will pick up so you can pass audio to your car stereo The uses of smart assistants is so limited unless it's totally integrated into your car - if you done have Bluetooth like me, you also don't have that tech in your car ;)
@@Ib_h7 my mom wants to use it for calls while driving. It would not only have to be a transmitter, but a speaker and mic. So would she still need the Roav Google as well?
Really good in general. It excelled in 2 areas. First it showed the most difficult installation (instead of the easiest) & second he didn't say "Hey Google" 10,000 times ;)
I have 2 of them one in a 2018 Tesla Model X and one in a 2011 MB E350 convertible. Both have Bluetooth and both cars are so much better with this device. Bolt is awesome. I wish my google home in my bathroom worked as well. Roav works seamlessly with AppleMusic and it reads my texts. I don’t understand why I’m in the shower and I can’t get google home to do either of those on its own. Best Buy has them on sale for $40. If you are the fence buy it you will love it!
Has 170k subs. Does not have bluetooth or aux in his car. And a broken windshield. Damn the youtube money really is bad nowadays. OT: I have the same issue with my phone not activating assistant. But $49 is a bit much.
They should make the charger plug and the mic/button two different pieces connected by a chord that you can hang on your air vent, not everyone has a car port in arms reach.
If they cant make it simple most people will look away. As you described its quite troublesome. Thanks for sharing anyway; the concept is very interesting.
I absolutely love this Thing!! I can't get Android auto on my car and this is the perfect solution out there. Little buggy but livable and it can only get better. Downside of using the auxiliary connection is, music content (album cover, artist and titles) won't show up on your infotainment screen. I recommend using Bluetooth for everything. Killer in car product I must say.
I just purchased Roav Bolt thank you for all you information you very helpful I read the reviews I have a iPhone and I kept saying that I can’t use it with the iPhone but I have to do is download the Google assistant there’s some things that I can’t use with this but there’s a lot of things I can thank you yes and a lot of my questions
I really dont get the advantage over just using the assistant on your phone. I already use google assistant constantly while driving. My main issue is that stupid OnStar in my car usually screws up the assistant and then does weird stuff (like uses the onstar voice instead of google assistant voice, but still does what I'm asking my assistant to do. And ends each command with "thank you, goodbye")
Biggest issue is Bolt can pair with only one phone at any time. So if you want to pair your spouse phone you have to factory reset it. Hence if you switch cars with yours spouse, Bolt cannot be used by both.
Exclant review, I know there was something out there i could use. Just like in your car. Thanks for the review, i am in the process of getting one as soon as i finish here. And I know some other people that will get excited about this also. So I will be sharing this video with them..Until next time, Bret.
My car's Bluetooth is so old, although I keep a stable connection, whenever I receive a call it rejects it straight away. I see this as a possible solution to my problem as it seems this acts as a 'bridge' between the two.
I like that I don't have to constantly have to constantly hook my phone to a aux cable to listen to music and then have to unhook it afterwards. One problem I find is that it won't play music if my phone is locked. I have to unlock my phone and then tell Google assistant to play music. Hopefully they'll roll out an update to allow it to do that.
@John Grist thanks. I solved the problem. I just reset the device and set it up again and that seems to do the trick. I've enjoyed using it so far. I like being able to have my phone in my pocket and being able to play my music hands free. I can pick songs, playlists and skip tracks plus the many other things this device can do which a Bluetooth dongle can't.
@@marcelosilveira7079 I have the I have the pixel 2 XL it could be my Bluetooth is picky or maybe because my vehicle is in 09. My friend with a new car her Google Assistant works. 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Brett this isn't yet available in UAE We search in all stores they are not selling online also...for uae... This is great my husband and me were looking for something exciting like this for our car as we are enjoying Nest mini we just brought for our home
Daaaam Brett Every time I buy a new device!!! U go and lunch a other gadget!!! Ajajajajaja My wife all ready hates me, Im going to start blaming Tech with Brett (And, yes... Im in my way to buy this gadget, lol)
Thank you, best review I have seen for the Bolt. Having the same issue of my phone not being able to hear my commands, sometimes even after yelling them. I also still wanted to be able to use my car speakers for output from Bluetooth which other reviews never seemed to mention. You answered every single question I had. I honestly just wanted a better mic, but the some of the other added features come in handy as well. Will be picking one up soon, would be sooner if Amazon carried it.
Heads up with samsung phones don't know about other Android phones doesn't update the bolt for voice command. You will 1st need an iPhone to update the bolt to the latest firmware in order to use voice command with samsung/Android phone.
I put an actual google home mini in my car, using my phones WiFi hotspot. It isn't aware of location, so I can't say "navigate to some where", but saying "how do I get to a location" works and the destination is sent to my phone. The hotspot had to have the same SID as my home WiFi where you have to set up the mini before trying in the car. Then tasker is used to create and stop the Wifi hotspot with the mini's wifi as the trigger.
Dude...This...is...MONEY!! I'm curious the pros and cons of this device vs the new Android Auto thing Google is coming out with for devices. Thanks for the review Brett! As a side note, we need to catch up and do lunch or something..it has been too long. Let me know!
That is a great question. I believe this will still be useful to have better voice detection but I might have to do a re-review once that is available. We totally should, just let me know...

Brett, sorry to say this but I have had Google assistant for years since my Note 2 was still in use, all through my Note 4 and now with my Note 9. It works doing all you said this product does without having to use that product. All I see this product doing is making you spend money for no real reason.
So it doesn't have an FM transmitter in it, even though Anker's other Roavs do? That's an odd choice, but thank you. My AUX is broken in a way that's too pricey to be worth the fix.
You can start messages completely from voice which I totally forgot to show. I was only able to respond instantly to messages by pressing the button but this depends on which app. For text messages you can use the, "Read me my messages" command and you can respond to the most recent texts by voice.
2:00 My roav simply paired with my Bluetooth fm transmitter no need for the auxiliary cable. When I tried connecting the two with the auxiliary cable all I got was static on the radio. The reason why I prefer roav over android auto is because. I can leave my phone in my pocket.
@@smadeelibrahim turn by turn voice nav coming threw your car speakers is almost as good as having the screen ;) but you make it sound like that's the only thing you'd use it for? SMS, music etc?
Go to 11:30, it's a real problem. I find my aor conditioning is interferes with direct "Hey Google" to phone. The other issue is legally, touching the phone screen whilst driving will expose you to risk of a power hungry loser cop issuing you a fine. Tapping an intermediate device like this will avoid it.
Aha! My google assist never works in my car on my cell. Lol. I thought I was doing something wrong. ANOTHER google gadget I need. If you are playing music through pandora and you have your navigation on as well, will it still read your turns and directions, etc over the music?
Since you have Google Assistant built into your phone can you not connect your phone straight to the FM transmitter. And then just use your Google assistant in your phone? Unless I'm thinking about this wrong you should be able to say the words hey Google and your phone should work as the Google home through your car speakers? If you connect your phone to your car speakers what is the difference between your phone and that doohickey from anchor? Besides the fact that your phone's microphone does not work as good as anchors product. Thank you for the video
So, if I had this connected to my car via bluetooth, then had my phone connected to it via bluetooth, would my phone have to connect to the car as well to play music or would the anker play the music?
I know that there are some Android devices do not response to Google Assistant while the screen is off but My Note 8 works well for it. Even though I have an old car and it is noisy, somehow I have no issue to talk to my phone when it is docked.
very nice show When I leave my car, the viva blue light still continues to stay on. Will this drain my battery? When I come back the next day, I still see the blue light on is this normal?
Having to press the button on it is a deal breaker. If you have built in blutooth in your car the mic is placed in a much better spot. I have little issues using text to speech or activating Google assistant.
Love the roundabout way you got it working. Sounds like something I'd do
Finally finally I'm a truck driver I've been needing this forever I have to physically touch my phone to get Google Assistant to work now I can use my voice
You can use your voice to open Google account on your phone

Great video but can you not reply to messages just by voice? Pleasing the button seems counterintuitive since it's all about voice?
I think it's just the first time you are replying to that person. If it carries on after that then you can just reply without pressing it

ua-cam.com/video/yM8yZVoH4VE/v-deo.html try this... Has Android auto
Why haven't I heard of this product until now
This may sound like a weird question. Where are you located? The opening scene showed an area that looks familiar.
You didn’t saylove you back to your Wife ! You just hang up on her 🤣🤣!
Ice cold!
This device looks very interesting, though!
I love this video
2:00 My roav simply paired with my Bluetooth fm transmitter no need for the auxiliary cable. When I tried connecting the two with the auxiliary cable all I got was static on the radio.
The reason why I prefer roav over android auto is because. I can leave my phone in my pocket.
Thanks for the review .
I feel no use of this device as I already have phone
How well does it work from within your pocket?
CJ West same “well” as u can navigate with this “without screen” device while ur phone is in pocket 😝
@@smadeelibrahim turn by turn voice nav coming threw your car speakers is almost as good as having the screen ;) but you make it sound like that's the only thing you'd use it for? SMS, music etc?
Go to 11:30, it's a real problem. I find my aor conditioning is interferes with direct "Hey Google" to phone. The other issue is legally, touching the phone screen whilst driving will expose you to risk of a power hungry loser cop issuing you a fine. Tapping an intermediate device like this will avoid it.
Aha! My google assist never works in my car on my cell. Lol. I thought I was doing something wrong. ANOTHER google gadget I need. If you are playing music through pandora and you have your navigation on as well, will it still read your turns and directions, etc over the music?
Since you have Google Assistant built into your phone can you not connect your phone straight to the FM transmitter. And then just use your Google assistant in your phone? Unless I'm thinking about this wrong you should be able to say the words hey Google and your phone should work as the Google home through your car speakers? If you connect your phone to your car speakers what is the difference between your phone and that doohickey from anchor? Besides the fact that your phone's microphone does not work as good as anchors product. Thank you for the video
I'm sold. Been having issues I'm the car a month or so after I got my S9
So where are my fellow cassette adapter users!?
I use to have one but then this car doesn't even have that. It thought CD were the future!
Thank you Brett
So, if I had this connected to my car via bluetooth, then had my phone connected to it via bluetooth, would my phone have to connect to the car as well to play music or would the anker play the music?
You never mentioned of it supports Fast Charge on your S9
That’s a huge crack in the windsreen
I know that there are some Android devices do not response to Google Assistant while the screen is off but My Note 8 works well for it. Even though I have an old car and it is noisy, somehow I have no issue to talk to my phone when it is docked.
very nice show When I leave my car, the viva blue light still continues to stay on. Will this drain my battery?
When I come back the next day, I still see the blue light on is this normal?
This is awesome!
Best to have Bluetooth Headphones its work every where including car . Its cheap and no wiring or no bulky device need.
@@justinbennitt835 yes v can Drive with headphones on
@@justinbennitt835 hi justin by law v can Drive with headphones on in uk
Nice video!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
great vid!
Having to press the button on it is a deal breaker. If you have built in blutooth in your car the mic is placed in a much better spot. I have little issues using text to speech or activating Google assistant.
You don't have to press a button though...
You didn’t even say I love you back when she said it to you
Damn
@@Jes_wya IHate you
@@Jes_wya Shut up
how
She doesn't sing I love you she only sings it as a song Alexa Can only do that
What's the advantage of getting Google Assistant in the device instead of using it on your phone??
Nice & cool...great review...
I was actually really interested in this until I found it dosent have an fm transmitter
Great video Brett. Down the line can you compare the Roav to the Echo Auto. Thanks
I'll add it to the list of things to do!
Can u tell me what kind of phone cradle for your car u have plz I would really appreciate it looks pretty cool
Hi, great video, is it possible to work with more than one phone? meaning, my wife can enter the car and also use this?
