EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn't work with anything. It's mildly infuriating because today, I can't still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.

Please don't make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.

You can root it. Didn't look too much into it but you might be able to do something with that.

Also failing that, get a short range radio transmitter. They're cheap and the audio ain't great but you can plug your phone in and get audio on your car.

Car thing doesn’t handle the audio, they have to pair their phone to their stereo with Bluetooth or an aux cable anyway.

So people are paying 100 bucks for an interface? Neat.

[-] Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago

It's free for Spotify subscribers.

How is that any different than just using the app on a phone in a mount then?

[-] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

It adds a tactile scroll wheel.

[-] GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Is that it? I'm sure you can find a replacement that doesn't require a subscription if that's all you cared about.

[-] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it’s a dumb gadget even at the $45 they eventually cut the price down to. It’s basically got an always shrinking market of people who don’t have CarPlay or Android Auto, and the niche who don’t want to use a phone holder, Siri/Google, and car mode in the app.

[-] Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago

It was free for premium subscribers and was marketed to those who had older cars.
