The Spotify Car Thing cost $100, but I can't use it anymore.

airportline@lemmy.ml to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 1234 points –

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.

in my 1998 car i just put in an Bluetooth capable radio with good speakers and a subwoofer and nobody can disable anything because it's not connecting to anything except for a Bluetooth device. i'm never gonna by anything newer just because i can repair this cars myself and i really don't want the mechanics in my area to fix it because i can't trust them to fix it and not make it worse

Same but with a 1999, keep at it. You'll never regret practicing at learning how things work. Some of the skills transfer even when you change what thing you're troubleshooting.

yeah skill like that are always usefull it also helps that i'm an mechanical engineer (trou an apprenticeship) :)

Remarkably, I did the same, and still had something disabled...by Spotify.

The unit had Spotify compatibility (as in, an input mode where you also got access to liking a song by pressing the volume button).

Spotify dropped support for it in the app, so it's not useful any more. It's not really a problem, Bluetooth input and media controls still work, and I've disabled the Spotify input. But remarkable how possible it is for companies to ruin something!

yeah my pioneer radio also has a Spotify mode that dosen't work anymore. i woud not use it anyway. and that's why i don't like electronics that need to connect to a server even if it doesn't need to
