EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn’t work with anything. It’s mildly infuriating because today, I can’t still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.

Please don’t make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.

    in my 1998 car i just put in an Bluetooth capable radio with good speakers and a subwoofer and nobody can disable anything because it’s not connecting to anything except for a Bluetooth device. i’m never gonna by anything newer just because i can repair this cars myself and i really don’t want the mechanics in my area to fix it because i can’t trust them to fix it and not make it worse

      Same but with a 1999, keep at it. You’ll never regret practicing at learning how things work. Some of the skills transfer even when you change what thing you’re troubleshooting.

      Remarkably, I did the same, and still had something disabled…by Spotify.

      The unit had Spotify compatibility (as in, an input mode where you also got access to liking a song by pressing the volume button).

      Spotify dropped support for it in the app, so it’s not useful any more. It’s not really a problem, Bluetooth input and media controls still work, and I’ve disabled the Spotify input. But remarkable how possible it is for companies to ruin something!

        yeah my pioneer radio also has a Spotify mode that dosen’t work anymore. i woud not use it anyway. and that’s why i don’t like electronics that need to connect to a server even if it doesn’t need to
