After that, it’s possible to control your tunes via the larger display. It’s installed into your car in much the same way as old GPS units used to be. Oh, yes, and it needs to output to your car’s speakers, so make that ‘three things in order to function’. In other words, Spotify’s gadget will only work if you’ve got all the ingredients needed to stream Spotify without it. Users need a Spotify Premium subscription (that’s non-negotiable), and a smartphone with a working data connection (ditto). The question has to be: Why the heck would you want one of these? The Car Thing requires two things in order to function, not including the car. But many Americans will tell you that’s just how it should be. So it’s less a case of ‘anyone’ and more one of ‘Americans’.
Anyone can now buy one, for $90 (R1,350), provided you live in the United States. That’s changed, but it hasn’t changed enough. Initially, the $80 (R1,200) in-car audio device was available by invitation only. But, like, in mid-April, so there was no chance it was a joke. It does make the Car Thing (or pays someone else to), a device we first saw in April last year. Keep on some Spotify hardware in your car? No, not your cellphone.
