If your current vehicle was built outside of that timeframe, you can still use your phone\u2019s native Bluetooth connectivity functions&nbsp;to make calls without running afoul of local distracted driving laws.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple of ways to add Bluetooth technology to your vehicle. Some people choose to replace the factory radio in their vehicle with something more advanced. This is a perfectly workable solution if you have the money to spend and the time to be without your vehicle while it is installed. Even if you choose to do the work yourself,&nbsp;it could be a time-consuming project. From our point of view, the easiest and most cost-effect method of adding Bluetooth to a vehicle&nbsp;is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=automotive+bluetooth+receiver&amp;crid=1WQ1HPWRV8XUR&amp;sprefix=automotive+bluetoo%2Caps%2C176&amp;ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">use a Bluetooth radio receiver<\/a>. These devices are relatively&nbsp;inexpensive,&nbsp;and they are basically plug-and-play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j5wf54TZHBA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dvE3xCUSSz0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>What is Amazon Alexa Auto?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last year, a lot of us have become spoiled by our Amazon Alexa digital home assistant.
