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.

    For $100 you can buy an aftermarket Android head unit with Android Auto / Car Play support, or add $100 more to buy a nicer version.

      But that’s precisely what they don’t want because any day, it could be bricked by one of several companies.

        But an android head unit is more open and less susceptible to cloud companies stopping their service because its media player can work offline with local media, and you can still sideload apk into the unit even if play store no longer work on the unit.
