The long story of Spotify’s Car Thing is coming to an end to the dismay of its owners (wherever they are).<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spotify<\/a> have announced that they’ll be discontinuing their “Car Thing”. The device was a display and music streaming dongle for the road. Now, Spotify plan to kill the remaining devices out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, numerous leaks of a mysterious device known only under the ridiculous project name of “Car Thing” came out. In 2022, Spotify revealed the device<\/a> and settled on actually naming it their “Car Thing”. Now, just two years down the line the short-lived device has met its end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify discontinued production of the Car Thing<\/a> the year it was launched, in 2022. They cited “several factors” behind the discontinuation, though it was probably mostly that no-one really wanted it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
