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

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.

    Am I missing something, or why would you assume or expect that a Spotify peripheral could be used without a Spotify subscription? What even is this thing?

      Because Spotify has a free tier that still let’s you use the app and listen to music, just with ads

      Based on OP it has other functions than just Spotify.

      But things like that shouldn’t need a subscription. It’s a shitty thing to do.

      Pelton, this car thing, etc. Have other functions that don’t require the subscription but by making it mandatory they give you a unusable piece of junk if you ever cancel.
