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.

    Sell it and buy an Android Auto/CarPlay head unit. Then use Spotify in that. In my opinion, it’s a much better experience.

      I just use a Bluetooth -> aux adapter and my phone on a mount. Never wanted a screen on my dash.

        Which is fine for the majority. However, if you like to pump the volume or care about quality, bluetooth is very lacking. AA/ACP works over either USB or wifi, and the quality is muuuuch better.

          Then they should build an adapter that doesn’t need a UI. I’d use it. Maybe I’ll build it… WPS makes one button wifi connections an option.

          Even USB-C is lacking as far as volume is concerned. I recently had to upgrade my 8-year-old phone to a new model that only has USB-C and no audio jack. My car has an aux-in plug and I got an adapter for the new phone, but the max volume is only about half what the old phone was. How the fuck am I supposed to destroy my hearing with USB-C?

            When playing music from USB-C the audio precessing is happening in the adapter, not the phone. You may want to get a different/better adapter and that should solve your problem with low volume.

            This one from Amazon sounds good, gets crazy loud, and is very inexpensive:

            The limitation on volume is mildly irritating, but I only notice it every once in a while.

      Do you have any suggestions on which one of those to get? There are so many choices but they all have very bad English in their descriptions or spam Instagram ads so I don’t trust them
