Voice control is the device’s most prominent feature you can control Car Thing by saying, “Hey Spotify,” followed by a command, like “shuffle my liked songs.” The system does not yet support some actions, like adding songs or podcasts to your queue, but Spotify is working on adding more commands. The player also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Finally, you connect the device to your car stereo via AUX, Bluetooth, or USB. A 12 V power adapter connects to Car Thing and your car’s auxiliary power outlet, and the device then connects to your phone via Bluetooth.
The device is meant to provide a way to listen to Spotify in your car without the need to look down at your phone or deal with clunky built-in car interfaces, which can be dangerous to use on the road. Car Thing also requires a connection to your phone for mobile data or Wi-Fi. Spotify Premium currently costs $10 per month for individuals, with plans going up to $16 per month for six accounts. The company released Car Thing to a limited number of subscribers in October, and it announced on Tuesday that anyone can buy the device for $90-but you need a Spotify Premium subscription to use it.
Spotify is entering the hardware market with Car Thing, a smart music player meant to sit on your dashboard.
