    To be fair, next to no one bought this. And the people that payed $90 for this are probably not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

    This is basically a dumb android device with one app - an auto friendly version of Spotify. To use it, you need to pair it to your phone via Bluetooth. So, yeah, it assumes you have a phone in your car with Spotify on it.

    Also it costs about as much as a cheap externally mounted CarPlay or Android auto screen. So, yeah. Not great.

    If you want to put auto friendly app UIs in an older car, go get a cheap CarPlay or AA display. Those are platforms that have been around for a decade, and Apple & Google have long partnership agreements with automakers that are likely to ensure those platforms will be supported for years to come. Hell, Apple is still supporting ancient iPod connection protocols 20+ years later.

    This thing was the Rabbit R1, but for a music streaming app.
