I always thought the Car Thing looked cool, but never really understood who or what it was for.

If it requires a phone with Spotify to be connected, why wouldn’t I just connect my phone directly to my car stereo (or whatever the preferred input device is, aux cord, etc)?

Yeah it doesn’t really make any sense- if you’re gonna charge me almost $100 for a Spotify player I’m gonna need more.

Preferably it should have its own cell modem and built in service plan, and since I already paid $90 for the thing it should really work for free. At least for a few years.
