- Amazon’s second-generation Echo Auto is listed as “Currently unavailable” on its product page, and direct search listings have vanished entirely.
- The first-generation was launched back in 2018, while the Echo Auto (2nd gen) was launched in 2022 as a way to bring hands-free Alexa functionality to older cars that lacked native infotainment systems
As Amazon gears up for refreshes across its consumer hardware portfolio, potentially including redesigned Fire TV Sticks and new Kindle models, one of its niche smart home offshoots appears to have reached the end of the road. Amazon’s car-centric Alexa accessory, the Echo Auto, has vanished from active sale on Amazon, leaving buyers to wonder whether the hardware giant is quietly pulling the plug on its in-car dongle.
The missing listing was first flagged by users on Reddit, who were tracking upcoming seasonal sales and noticed the device was no longer discoverable via direct search queries. The official Amazon product page for the second-generation Echo Auto now lists the gadget as “Currently unavailable,” with no restocking timeline or estimated delivery date provided.
