Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The reconnect is automatic and fast. When i turn the car off i have to make sure the bluetooth is freshly reconnected. Settings > bluetoothb.

The roav by anker is one of the most stellar products i’ve ever encountered. It does almost the exact same thing as the amazon branded devices. The alexa functionality works like a charm.

The following steps are for my iphone xr using ios 13. It does what it says it can do and does it well. Even the pro isn't perfect (occasionally loosing a setting has to be reset) but a vast improvement to the original roav viva.

The quality of playing music over the bose system in the car is as good as direct fm. Nice not having the additional wire to aux. The instructions says spotify is coming at some point. Their booklet says coming soon.



Cons

The roav has been a total disappointment at every level. Pulling out a few times causes me to break the adhesive on the cigarette liter socket. Now i have to hold down the socket while pulling out the device.

Asked alexa for directions to my home, totally mute, not a single word. You say alexa and the device responds, but all your actions for through it's app. Connection is poor.

Most of these things, i think, are fixable. Anker and roav are unable to show that they can support the ios product set. Their ability to timely support sw changes is poor at best.

Support for this device is sketchy on android. This product should not be acquired to work with an ios device. I'm a software engineer, so if i can't get it to work, nobody can.

Quality


It wouldn’t install properly at first, but i emailed the company and they helped me with the product.


I drive a sti which isnt the quietest car inside so i need to make sure i speak loud, but i cant blame that on the product.


So i decided to go with the roav.


I am fairly alexa integrated 2 show 5.

Competitiveness


The roav viva pro works as promised and brings the amazon alexa experience right to your car.


I have a 2011 nissan that does not have bluetooth so i use the fm feature.
