It ships with three different mounts, including a vent mount, dashboard mount, and a CD player mount. It doesn’t feature a rechargeable battery, so it needs to be plugged in at all times. The device also comes with a 12V adapter which can be used to power the device. And since Car Thing doesn’t have a speaker itself, you’ll need an aux cable if you want your music to play through the car speakers. That may come in the future, but right now it streams content from both sources. Spotify also notes that Car Thing can’t just play downloaded content at the time. That means you’ll be using a hefty amount of data to play music through this thing. It needs to be paired with a phone to piggy-back off of the data connection.

Asking Spotify to skip an unliked song vocally takes longer than just tapping the skip button. Sometimes voice controls aren’t always the fastest way to do things either.
