Spotify has discounted it even further, bringing its price down another 20. The device does shine, however, when you ask the voice assistant to start a playlist, and it registered those commands easily.Ĭarman also notes that currently, Car Thing requires a data connection because it can only stream audio, although Spotify did not rule out a future update for accessing any downloaded content. The discontinued Car Thing audio accessory would see a massive discount, knocking 30 off its retail price. I generally felt like I could more efficiently navigate Spotify just by using my phone at stop lights. When a song that I didn’t like played, it took longer to say, “Hey Spotify, skip” than it would have to just tap the skip button on my phone. The voice controls mostly worked - for some reason it only got tripped up on a Kid Cudi request - but I grew frustrated with the steps it took to control music. Ashley Carman of The Verge had an opportunity to try Car Thing for a couple of days and had this to say about the device:
Car Thing, which also comes with dashboard mounting hardware, is controlled using its touch screen, programmable buttons along the top edge of the device, the knob, which allows drivers to scroll through the service’s content, and Spotify’s new ‘Hey Spotify’ digital assistant feature.
