Roav Bolt Review, Hands-Free Help from Google Assistant on the Go

[@josemanuellastra2488]

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

[@dannyblast3392]

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.

[@L.Tucker29]

I've had the Roav Bolt for almost a year now and honestly I like it. I travel for work and it's made things easier for me on the road.

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

[@MobiusGT]

have you considered reviewing different android auto car radio replacements?

[@nobodynowhere163]

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)

[@TaniTaniwha]

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.

[@GregBennett]

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.

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.

[@cblu535]

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

[@scottwagner646]

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.

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.

[@wolfmanwoo63]

@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.

[@morbotheturtle3796]

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")

[@sugar_peas]

My phone still went off when you said ok google

[@danschriver3796]

Do you always need to be on auxiliary in order for this to work? For example, I listen to a lot of am radio so would I always need to switch from am to auxillary?

[@TechWithBrett]

Yes, you will need to switch back and forth between the two. You can also see if that station is available through the Google Assistant and play it on your stereo that way.

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

[@TechWithBrett]

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.

Hi Brett, I have the Roav Bolt in my car for about 3 years now. I suddenly noticed that in order for me to hear the assistant response, i have to press the Bluetooth icon on my android OS Radio. I never had to do that in the past. it would automatically pause the radio and switched to the assistant audio. You might be wondering why am I using the Roav Both when I have the Android radio, but i find it more useful, the Google Assistant hears me better and it is much louder and responsive. Should I be paring the Roav Bolt directly with the Assistant on the head unit or with the Assistant on my phone?

Does roav bolt fix the audio delay BT in my toyota corolla? I have this 1-2 sec delay on my audio on google maps, youtube, music etc. because when I drive I normally rely on google maps turn by turn voice.

if this does the exact same thing as the phone would do with any BT or Aux car enabled... what's the point?

All you are actually purchasing is a better microphone.

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.

Doesn't work with Huawei phones just replaced it with a standard Bluetooth transmitter with a mic and google assistant works but when trying to make a phone call the person I'm calling can't hear me
