Spotify launches its player device for cars, on a limited basis

Spotify launches its car player called Car Thing, which is free but you pay the shipping costs. It is only available in some American territories.

Today, many use Spotify as their main music hub, having it all available through streaming on the Internet, access to podcasts and recommendation systems linked to an account. Its use is spreading and its use in cars is obvious. But not all cars have included access to the mobile via Bluetooth or integrated Spotify, with which they have produced the Car Thing device so that anyone can listen to Spotify in the car.

Now everyone can listen to Spotify in the car

The Spotify Car Thing is a device with limited connections, which connects via Bluetooth to control Spotify without the need to touch the phone screen and can be operated with voice commands. It is intended for people who drive older cars without integrated infotainment systems or telephone connections.

You still need to be connected to the power and to the phone, with what in the end is a dedicated control for Spotify, with its dedicated screen and voice controls. For now, you need a connection to stream content, nothing to use the content downloaded locally. It should be said that for now, everything that surrounds Spotify's Car Thing to listen to music in the car is a project.

Nothing indicates that this will be a trend in the future, especially since many modern cars already include multimedia functions and internet or smartphone connection. It could be a way to bring and make Spotify more accessible to countries with fewer resources or something very limited for some users who do not have cars with smart functions. For now, Spotify is taking this with a grain of salt and will take some time to deliver news on this device.
