Spotify has stopped manufacturing Car Thing, a dashboard accessory designed to make it easier to control the streaming service on your phone from a car. The change was quietly announced as part of the company\u2019s latest earnings release<\/a>, which notes the decision cost the company \u20ac31 million (around $32 million USD). \u201cReported Gross Margin was negatively impacted by our decision to stop manufacturing Car Thing,\u201d the release reads. <\/p>\n
\u201cBased on several factors, including product demand and supply chain issues, we have decided to stop further production of Car Thing units,\u201d a spokesperson for the company told TechCrunch<\/em><\/a>. \u201cExisting devices will perform as intended. This initiative has unlocked helpful learnings, and we remain focused on the car as an important place for audio.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe remain focused on the car as an important place for audio.\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nCar Thing had a bit of a weird release. It was initially made available on an invite-only basis in April 2021<\/a> before Spotify opened up a public wait list to buy the accessory in October<\/a>. It only went on general sale this February<\/a>, meaning it\u2019s been widely available for just five months before Spotify publicly announced it\u2019s stopping production. <\/p>\n
When we tried it out for ourselves, we weren\u2019t entirely sold on the promise of the Car Thing<\/a>. Increasing amounts of cars are now fitted with infotainment systems that offer easy built-in access to Spotify \u2014 negating the need for a separate device \u2014 and there are plenty of existing workarounds to getting your phone\u2019s audio to play out of your car stereo without the need for a pricey accessory tied to a single music streaming service. <\/p>\n
As of this writing, the accessory is still available to buy on Spotify\u2019s website<\/a>, where it\u2019s currently being sold at a discounted rate of $49.99 (down from its regular sale price of $89.99). Spotify hasn\u2019t said how long it plans to offer support for the device, but given its short-lived release, we wouldn\u2019t bet on it being particularly long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
