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 literally can’t buy them anymore! Spotify quietly canned the project. Support pages are still up but I can’t find a purchase option anywhere.

I bought one pretty early into launch and even then they were already heavily discounted. It was a weird choice for a peripheral, but personally I really wish they had tried a bit harder instead of giving up outright

They never even came over to the uk and I really wanted one. Nobody else makes anything like it either. I don't know why they canned it, I've only ever seen praise for it on YouTube and the like

If you have android auto you have carsctick.

Sometimes you don't want to use your phone for everything. Plus car thing to me seemed much more interesting outside of the car. Like to use as a media control panel in the kitchen etc.

Carstick is an android usb stick for android auto, that you don't need a phone with.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I imagine you need a proper screen already built into the car then?

[-] Persen@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yes, on most modern cars, you have the touchscreen radio.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I still don't have one of them yet either

[-] Persen@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

You're fucked then. Sorry.

I can't believe they ever came out with this product since every phone in the universe can play music in your car.

Genuinely do not understand who their market was here

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

There’s a niche. I’ve only ever driven older cars with less than stellar stereo setups for phone play. The idea is getting a small-footprint and quick to navigate stereo interface without actually having to replace whole ass stereo, and I find it pretty appealing!

For me the problem was connectivity. I assumed the car thing would act as a go-between for my phone and stereo, and it would remain always connected to the car audio system. Instead it’s just another thing you’re connecting to. It actually slowed me down significantly more than it helped.

If it could send/receive audio and just used your phone as a source, that’d be ideal for me. Like a suped up bluetooth receiver with spotify connectivity.
