In a first and second gen mazda 3, infotainment is responsible for the MPG and DTE gauge in the top screen on the dash. Unless you get a special radio or an extra black box behind the dash to handle that, you lose that functionality. Or in a 1979-1985 mazda RX-7, the radio is an obtuse size and the dash is very brittle, so replacing it is most likely going to mean broken dashboard and parts aren't available for it.

Actually the Spotify Car Thing is open source and can run custom code. But the CPU is incredibly weak, its Bluetooth is its only source of connectivity, and the ram is so little that the Car Thing really can't do much more than it was intended for, being a remote for your Spotify app on your phone. For less than the same price as a car thing, many could pick up a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 with a 4 inch screen module that could be used for many more uses. I say that because if you're actually willing to hack the Car Thing to get more use out of it after December, then you should be willing enough to fuck with a raspberry pi and have a much better piece of hardware with more use

this mf has good taste jev and redviel are goats

I wish they would allow owners to install an open source program there

The beauty of streaming services people

I would turn it into an Apple CarPlay thing. Apple CarPlay on an old car with a factory radio would be pretty cool.

That looks like a good foundation for a cyber deck mod.

I wonder if you use an old version of the Spotify app on a Car Thing that is not connected to the internet if it would still work. I suspect it would if you downloaded all the songs as it wouldn't have the chance for the Spotify server to tell it to not work.

I remember being one of the first people to be notified about carthing and I am a premium member so I was promised one for free. I remember paying 6 dollars for shipping because I live in Canada and it never came. Spotify took 6 dollars from me 😭😭

that sale felt like an easy money grab for them

This is the exact reason why I never relied on these radio apps for my music.

Years ago people had already figured out how to run Debian on the thing with display, touchscreen, scroll wheel and bluetooth support. Pretti sure after this nice move from Spotify they will also figure out how to enable WiFi (Spotify never used it but the hardware technically supports it)

Spotify and open source? That was a good one

I still can't believe that Spotify got rid of the useful voice control from the app in order to sell more of these. They still haven't brought it back.

Opening it up to be hackable is the best thing spotify can do with that, Other than just continuing to support it….

Spotify should buy back their product

I like how I only ever saw news about this thing when they decided to discontinue it. This would've been really helpful for me and a few people I know like a year ago.

This is why I haven't used a streaming music service in the last decade plus. Back around 2010 I got tired of streaming services going under and losing my playlists so now I buy all my albums and songs from amazon and own over 30 gigs of mp3s.
