Spotify will kill Car Thing units later this year, tells owners to throw them away
After discontinuing the device in 2022, Spotify has confirmed that it will kill any remaining Car Thing units by the end of the year.

They need to give it a software update that essentially turns it into your average car entertainment system, with support for local files, AirPlay (and whatever the Android equivalent is... casting?), and other streaming services including Spotify (even the garbage free version), oh, and CDs too, with metadata. I mean, this thing is pretty good at modernizing older cars to an extent, why did they suddenly choose to get rid of it completely?
Well I would like the option to use it as a simple media control. It only has 500 mb RAM so it's not going to do well with a lot of local media playback
That's cool too
I don't own one of those, but do they have any input whatsoever for any of the things you mentioned?
I'm pretty sure all it has is a USB-C port for power. But I think they can implement dongle support for things such as USB flash drives and CD drives. AirPlay (and its Android equivalent) can also be implemented since the device does indeed have Bluetooth.
