Spotify Automotive Issue is lifeless — or is it? That is how one can hack your bricked music slab

In Might, Spotify launched the approaching dying of its in-car music participant, the Automotive Issue. The complete little dashboard-mounted slabs have now, as promised, been bricked, leaving many shoppers with a $120 lump of circuits, screens and knob that is now just about pretty much as good as e-waste.

Spotify undoubtedly sees it that strategy — head over to the Spotify Automotive Issue webpage, and the company recommends you recycle it. You’ll get a refund in your Automotive Issue until the twenty fourth of January though, as a kind of apology for ceasing help. So that’s a bonus.
