Just found your video, nice job! But to be clear (correct me if I'm wrong) the Garmin is controlling your radio via Bluetooth, and it's getting weather information through your phone. But where is the microphone? Is it separate or is it in the unit and is just doing a really good job of picking up your voice?
Thanks for creating this content. I'm choosing between 55 and 66 atm and In your 2nd part video I noticed that Garmin itself fails to sound over the bluetooth, so the addition of Alexa would be necessary. I may just get the 55, it being a more compact fit.
@matenm282 it responds over bluetooth.. Alexa and garmin. But garmin will only do navigation... somewhere towards the end of video, there is a list of Garmin verbal commands... ex... "ok Garmin call Joe Smith." "Ok garmin directions to work." And other commands
I just bought the Garmin Drivesmart 66 EX from Wal-Mart in Michigan & paid $210.94 out the door (not on sale).
Just bought it 4 days ago in Germany for 219 Euro.
Thank you. Super helpful.

@@suzuki06g mic is built in..
@suzuki06g to be honest.. Im not sure how the bluetooth chain works.... the garmin is either directly hooked to phone or radio for input..
Hello, are you able to give verbal music commands through Garmin as well or Alexa only?
@matenm282 yes.. you say "ok garmin" and you can do many tasks related to navigation.

How is the glare when navigating and riding in the sun?
Not bad at all!
What case is that?
