This repo enables the use of the Car thing with a non-premium Spotify account. It removes the need to have the premium account to use the Car Thing but you still have the usual limitations of the Spotify free besides you’re now able to chose the song on the playlist and voice commands works as normal.
Flash the already jailbroken firmware provided here from lmore377 into your Car Thing or use Superbird Tool to flash the firmware.
Run the commands below on the repo folder:
# 1 - Enable carthing to write files
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /
# 2 - Setup carthing without need the phone app
adb push settings/onboarding_status /var/lib/qt-superbird-app/settings
adb push settings/setup_state /var/lib/qt-superbird-app/settings
# 3 - Save the original app
adb shell mv /usr/share/qt-superbird-app/webapp /usr/share/qt-superbird-app/webapp-orig
adb push webapp /usr/share/qt-superbird-app/
# 4 - Reboot the device
adb shell rebootPair with your phone via bluetooth and it’s done.
If you’re car thing us paired with your phone, unpair it and then pair it again after the installation process.
None. This changes the original firmware from Spotify, and if a OTA Update is made these changes will probably be reverted. By using this tool, you accept responsibility for the outcome.
