If you want Alexa in your car, the is an Alexa-enabled car charger that can make that happen for about the price of an Echo Dot. Here’s how it works and how to set it up.

如果您想在车上使用Alexa，则是支持Alexa的车载充电器，可以以大约Echo Dot的价格实现这一目标。 这是它的工作方式以及设置方法。

首先应该知道的 (What You Should Know First)

The Viva, like any other car charger, plugs into the cigarette lighter in your car. From there, you can use it as a regular car charger with its two included USB ports to charge up your phone. The main feature, though, is the built-in Echo of sorts, which allows you to use Alexa while driving around.

与其他任何车载充电器一样，Viva可以插入汽车中的点烟器。 从那里，您可以将其用作带有两个随附的USB端口的常规车载充电器来为手机充电。 不过，其主要功能是内置的Echo，可让您在行驶时使用Alexa。

There are a couple of requirements, though, that might be a deal breaker for you. For starters, your car’s stereo needs to have either Bluetooth connectivity or an auxiliary audio-in jack. This is so that Alexa can pipe its audio to your car’s speakers using your phone as the intermediary. It’s not absolutely necessary, as it will just use your phone’s speaker for output if you don’t connect it to your car’s stereo. However, it’s required if you want to play music through Alexa.

但是，有几个要求可能对您不利。 对于初学者来说，您汽车的立体声音响需要具有蓝牙连接或辅助音频输入插Kong。 这样一来，Alexa便可以使用手机作为中介，将其音频通过管道传输到汽车的扬声器。 并非绝对必要，因为如果不将其连接到汽车的立体声音响，它将仅使用手机的扬声器进行输出。 但是，如果您想通过Alexa播放音乐，则需要这样做。

Secondly, you need to have your phone active and the Roav Viva app up and running whenever you want to do certain things, like get directions. This isn’t a huge deal per se, since you can just place your phone on a mount and let it do its thing, but the important thing here is that the Viva isn’t a standalone device, as it still uses your phone to do much of the leg work. The good news, however, is that for basic commands (like getting the weather or asking for a quick measurement conversion), you don’t need to have the app up.

其次，每当您要进行某些操作(例如获取路线)时，都需要激活手机并启动Roav Viva应用程序。 这本身并不是什么大问题，因为您可以将手机放在底座上并让其完成工作，但是这里重要的是Viva不是独立设备，因为它仍在使用手机来做很多腿部工作。 不过，好消息是，对于基本命令(例如获取天气或要求快速进行测量转换)，您无需启动应用程序。

设置 (Setting It Up)

The process for setting up the Roav Viva is pretty easy, but it does require several steps and you can expect it to take around five minutes or so—and a bit longer if you choose to perform a firmware update (which is recommended).

设置Roav Viva的过程非常简单，但是它确实需要几个步骤，您可能会花费大约五分钟左右的时间-如果选择执行固件更新(推荐)，则需要更长的时间。

To start, download the Roav Viva to your phone (available for both and ).

首先，将Roav Viva下载到您的手机(适用于和 )。

Upon opening the app for the first time, you’ll be asked for permission to access various things like location, contacts, etc.

首次打开该应用程序时，系统会要求您授予访问位置，联系人等各种内容的权限。

Next, tap the “Accept & Continue” button after reading the EULA.

接下来，在阅读EULA之后点击“接受并继续”按钮。

You’ll now need to create an account. If you own other Anker products (from Eufy, Zolo, Nebula, etc.), you might already have an account.

现在，您需要创建一个帐户。 如果您拥有其他Anker产品(来自Eufy，Zolo，Nebula等)，则可能已经有一个帐户。

When you’re signed in, plug the Viva car charger into your car’s cigarette lighter. The app will scan for and find it. Hit “Connect” when found.

登录后，将Viva车载充电器插入汽车的点烟器。 该应用程序将进行扫描并找到它。 找到后点击“连接”。

You’ll then go through the fairly quick process of connecting the charger to your phone via Bluetooth. Select the charger from the list, and then hit the “Pair” button. If it tells you to confirm a string of numbers, you can ignore this and hit “Pair” anyway.

然后，您将经历将充电器通过蓝牙连接到手机的相当快速的过程。 从列表中选择充电器，然后单击“配对”按钮。 如果它告诉您确认一串数字，则可以忽略它并按“ Pair”。

Next, you’ll select how you’re going to connect your phone to your car’s stereo. In this case, we’re going with the auxiliary audio in jack. Make your selection, and then tap the “Select” button.

接下来，您将选择如何将手机连接到汽车的立体声音响。 在这种情况下，我们将使用辅助音频插Kong。 进行选择，然后点击“选择”按钮。

When you have your phone connected to your car’s stereo, tap the “Play Test Audio” button.

将手机连接到汽车的立体声音响后，点击“播放测试音频”按钮。

You should hear audio tones playing through your car’s speakers. Hit “Yes” if all is good.

您应该会听到汽车扬声器播放的音频。 如果一切正常，请单击“是”。

Next, you’ll sign in to your Amazon/Alexa account.

接下来，您将登录到您的Amazon / Alexa帐户。

This opens the Amazon app on your phone if you have it. Otherwise, it will just load Amazon.com in the web browser and then you’ll sign in to your Amazon account. Tap the “Allow” button to give the Viva permission to access your account to use with Alexa.

如果您拥有手机，它将在手机上打开它。 否则，它将仅在网络浏览器中加载Amazon.com，然后您将登录到您的Amazon帐户。 点击“允许”按钮，授予Viva权限以访问您的帐户以与Alexa一起使用。

Once that’s complete, you’ll be given a quick tutorial on some things you can try. Hit “Next” in the top-right corner of the screen to continue.

完成此操作后，您将获得有关可以尝试的一些事情的快速教程。 点击屏幕右上角的“下一步”继续。

You’ll probably be prompted to download a firmware update, which is recommended. This will take a few minutes.

可能会提示您下载固件更新，建议这样做。 这将需要几分钟。

Once that’s complete, you’re all set and ready to use Alexa in your car. At this point, the main screen of the Viva app will simply be the Alexa logo, letting you know that it’s ready to go whenever you are.

一旦完成，您就可以准备好在车上使用Alexa了。 此时，Viva应用程序的主屏幕将仅是Alexa徽标，让您知道它随时可以使用。
