You can now sign up to buy Spotifys Car Thing, but you probably shouldnt
Spotify is making it easier to get ahold of its first hardware device, the Car Thing, by opening up a waitlist to purchase the device that anyone can join starting today. The catch is that now the streaming services previously invite-only product is $79.99 when it used to be free with paid shipping and handling.
While Spotify will let anyone with an account sign up for its waitlist, whether free or premium, you do still need a premium account to actually use the device. Also, at its new $79.99 price, its worth re-examining what the Car Thing can do.
The Car Thing is not a standalone Spotify device. It connects to your phone over Bluetooth and uses a phones internet connection to stream and control playback on songs and podcasts from Spotifys library. The Car Thing is also totally reliant on your phones Bluetooth, USB, or auxiliary cable connection to your car, which basically makes the device a glorified Spotify remote.
