“This Amazon collaboration gives the Logitech ZeroTouch even
more hands-free power,” said Patric Frank, head of new ventures at
Logitech. “Now, the possibilities are endless – even while on the
road. The marriage of Logitech ZeroTouch and Alexa make it possible
for drivers to not only use their voice to control more than just
their smartphone, but all smart devices kept at home, before they
even get there.”
Logitech ZeroTouch smart car mounts let you use your voice to
place calls, text back and forth and engage with apps, such as
Yelp, all without using your hands. Now, with Alexa, you can do
more while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road,
including:
- Quickly access the weather, news or
more than 8,000 Alexa skills, such as to-do lists, ordering
products from the road, or listening to a joke
- Ask Alexa to change your compatible
thermostat from the road, so when you get home, your house is
heated or cooled
- Tell Alexa to turn on your compatible
smart lights on your way home from work
- Listen to your favorite Kindle books
from the road during a long drive
- Ask Alexa to lock the front door when
you’ve already left the home
“We’re excited to collaborate with Logitech to bring Alexa into
the vehicle,” said Aaron Brown, Director of Amazon Alexa. “Voice is
the future, and this is particularly true in cars. The ability to
use your voice to control your smart home, manage to-do lists,
access Kindle content, and more makes for a safer, more enjoyable
driving experience. We can’t wait for Logitech customers to try
this out.”
Logitech continues to update the voice-controlled app, so
drivers always have access to the best features of a connected car,
without needing to purchase a new car. In addition to Alexa,
Logitech ZeroTouch has also introduced the ability to read out and
respond to emails, accept or decline calendar invites, and read out
calendar meetings for the day. To connect your car, simply snap
your phone to the magnetic air vent or dashboard mount to activate
the Android app, and speak freely.
Availability
The newly updated ZeroTouch app with the Alexa feature is now
available in the U.S. and UK for free on the Google Play store.
Users need an Amazon account to access the newest Alexa feature
within the ZeroTouch app.
The ZeroTouch Air Vent and ZeroTouch Dashboard are available at

or $79.99 respectively. For more information, please visit
