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.
