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.

Given that there's not much Car Thing can do that the Spotify app on your phone cannot, the biggest appeal is probably having your phone free to do other things, and the added convenience of having preset buttons and the dial for accessing your music while driving.
