Remember Car Thing025 Archives Spotify's hardware player for cars that the company launched in April, though only for select users in the U.S.?
Well, on Thursday the company made it a little easier for a wider range of users to purchase the Car Thing. Now, all Spotify users in the U.S., both in the Free and Premium tiers, can sign up for the waitlist for the Car Thing – though you'll still need a Premium plan to actually use it.
Also, while the Car Thing was originally launched as a free device, it will now cost users $79.99.

As for why you might want to purchase Car Thing, that's a little harder to explain. Car Thing does not work without a smartphone — it depends on it (both iPhones and Androids work) for an internet connection. It has voice control (say "Hey Spotify" to invoke it); it's got a dial that lets you browse, select, and play music, as well as four preset buttons on top of the device to get to your favorite songs faster; and it has a color touchscreen display so you can see what's playing.
It's a little bit like having an always-ready Spotify app in hardware form, in your car.
The dial is pretty cool.

You can join the waitlist for Car Thing here.
