Spotify Car Thing
Just thought I'd share this with you guys. It's called Spotify Car Thing and is yet to be released and still in testing, but worth highlighting nonetheless. Primarily for those that don't have modern stereos or for those that don't like double din units like myself.



Few people seem to be asking why? What's wrong with just using your phone, to which I can see their point, but I would argue that it frees up your phone for navigation and I personally would love to have a dedicated media device to make it safer and easier to change tracks and select playlist etc. Stuart

Feels like the resurrection of the iPod! Albeit with Bluetooth. Does make sense to have a dedicated device, but usually that would be the sat nav unit, leaving the phone for multimedia.

I have requisitioned the boy's old Ipod Touch with a view to pairing it via Alpine bluetooth to the truck............
not had a chance to use it as yet but initial garage based checks seemed to work fine

This looks great and I will probably get one depending on the price. I have been extremely unimpressed with the stereo I bought recently for the 110, especially given I forked out for a (supposedly) decent one.

Now the 90 needs a new stereo and I think a small amp with the Car Thing is looking like a much better solution.

I believe they are targeting around the $80 mark. Stuart

Couldn’t agree more Clayton. Too many adverts and too much talking. I remember when radio was for listening to music!
