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.

    But weird, an android auto upgrade kit for my car would cost me 160. The Spotify thing is so not a good deal.

      FYI, those are known to be full of malware if you buy the random branded ones off Amazon. It’s Highly recommend that people go with known reputable brands.

        What’s one of the reputable brands? All the ones I’ve looked at have really poor English in their descriptions so I don’t trust them

      They heavily discounted them and then stopped selling them altogether. Spotify has a huge track record of doing that kind of thing with features, much like Google. I’m surprised they still work at all.

      Weird. Last I looked into an Android Auto update or something like this for my car, it was like $2000-3000. These cheapo units don’t seem to replace the functions my current dash screen properly.

      I wonder if it’s because my dashboard already has a screen so it’s more difficult to upgrade. It would need to integrate with the features that already involve the screen like the back up camera, climate controls, Bluetooth controls, etc.

      But I mean I just put my phone in a $15 phone mount instead.
