They just announced the full discontinuation of car thing today. It won't work anymore after December 9th 2024. This is an absolutely necessary video. I'm sure someone will develop a new OS that works with the "thing" soon.

Question: if the car thing is hacked to use Bluetooth as its main connection, would it be possible to connect the car thing to a pc?

@itsRevela 9 дней назад

Spotify just announced that Spotify Car Thing will be discontinued and that the device will stop functioning. Is there a method to continue using car thing despite this upcoming change?

@effeKtSVK 8 дней назад

If there isn’t a killswitch already then it will probably keep working, since this version doesn’t update (I’m assuming). But there is also possibility that they have endpoints specific to Car Thing and they will just pull the plug and it definitely will stop working immediately. 😅 We just have to wait and find out haha

I just got an email from Spotify that they're discontinuing the service, will this hack work without their service?

@gignormous 9 дней назад

man... we were quick 😂

@jxdinglol 9 дней назад

My guess is, unfortunately, no... This will only work as long as Spotify keeps updating the app to work with the car thing software, but since this video proves it is completely possible to flash a new OS onto it, someone is already working on a better OS that will continue to work with it... Hopefully the hardware will be strong enough to handle whatever they've got planned.

@budgillett 8 дней назад

@@jxdinglol Do you think it's possible to make a 3rd party app on an android phone side of things to sort of route all media control to the soon to be bricked car thing?

@jxdinglol 8 дней назад

@@budgillett Maybe? I'm not sure. It might be possible for Spotify to come up with an app that installs a version of Android Auto for the Car Thing via Bluetooth. Or someone else could reverse engineer how the OTA update process works and make their own 3rd party android app that does it, too.

@Bennythejet55 8 дней назад

So, obviously, this video is about to be super popular, as I'm going to spread it around. But, I'm hoping that someone can clarify that this method could in theory continue it running even beyond the update? Specifically, I'd love to know if there is a way to disable this thing from getting updates, seeing as that is how they plan on bricking the device in December.

@budgillett 8 дней назад

I would love to see if what you are saying is true. On the spotify side of things though, like the app on your phone they could push a forced update that wouldn't let Spotify connect with their own bricked device

@jxdinglol 7 дней назад

They are not going to "brick the device" in December. They are going to "brick the phone app" by removing all the features that support Car Thing so they don't have to keep developing around it when it isn't making them anymore money. Your device won't receive an update, but it will stop receiving data from your phone.

@awsomDixie 2 дня назад

If that's the case, then I'll just not update Spotify. I already don't update the app as it is The thing that gets me is if there are car thing specific APIs out there or something of that sort, where they could just shut those off and then it's just screwed. No way around that as we sit now

@Thecoop2007. 5 месяцев назад

Is there anything else you can mod the car thing to do? I have one and don't use it it would be great to actually find a use for it

@DinosaurTalksTech 5 месяцев назад

Unfortunately I have not yet found any other ways to add custom apps or functionality to this other than flashing the No Premium OS onto it.

8 дней назад

I really hope for Android on this thing. It technically is capable of running Android, though the hardware is limited (512M RAM, 4G ROM).

@DinosaurTalksTech 7 дней назад

If I can get Android auto or even Android itself to run on this, I will make a tutorial outlining how to do so. But it may need to be physically jailbroken to get root access for adb shell. No promises

Hi, been interested in making a diy one since im a cheapo and want the fun in making it, are there any mobile phone screens that can be adapted to hdmi with a converter? Purely the screen. I dont want a phone lmao

@DinosaurTalksTech 5 месяцев назад

Hello, it is possible to find a phone screen and an adapter board, but your best choice is to buy an HDMI touch screen as this would be the most cost effective and provide less of a headache of trying to find a screen and adapter board.

@kbhasi Месяц назад

Yeah, I agree. You could consider getting and using one of those Waveshare display kits that take a HDMI or DisplayPort input.

@theroachmotel 9 дней назад

Since Spotify is discontinuing in December does doing this allow it to still function? Thanks

@DinosaurTalksTech 8 дней назад

@theroachmotel That is a good question, I am sure it will allow it to still function since doing this allows the user to connect to the Spotify Car Thing via Bluetooth instead of through the app. But Maybe I will make an short update video In December covering if this still works after they discontinue support.

@jxdinglol 7 дней назад

@@DinosaurTalksTech I believe they are going to remove the phone app's Car Thing functionality altogether. You are also mistaken, the Car Thing has ALWAYS used Bluetooth. If you can find a way into the root directory or find a way to flash Android Auto onto the thing, you'd be many peoples' hero, including mine.

@Michael-Martell I will try to see if I can get the OS to read from a local storage device, like an SD card or USB flash drive. We will need root access, and then have to modify the OS to accept the local storage. If I am ever able to easily gain root access and modify the OS, I will create a video tutorial to follow suite for you all to do the same.
