Spotify Car Thing Mods: The Best Upgrade for Your Desk
The most useful Car Thing mod may be the one that changes what the device can be.
Most hardware mods change the shell. A software mod can change the entire role of the device.
Carthios turns Spotify Car Thing into a Mac dashboard with music controls, weather, nearby transit, private dictation, timers, coding status, and system monitoring. The dial and buttons stay tactile; the screen becomes useful beyond the car.
That makes Carthios a desk upgrade, not just a novelty mod: a small companion you can glance at and touch while you work.
