Hi, we have a similar thread already: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Car-View-missing/td-p/5279332 

You can push "Like" and "Me too" buttons.

Wow, I can't even reply directly to anyone on this thread. Adorable job, Spotify. 

Anyway, I'm basically here to second everything already being said. I hadn't updated my app in a while, and I'm genuinely sorry I did, now, because the minute I did, Car View stopped working. Spent several days trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, and what the heck "My Car Thing" was supposed to be--turns out, it's an extra device Spotify wants us to buy in order to use a feature that was fully, perfectly functional but which they took away so we'd be forced into this extra purchase. "Preparing for the next version" my left **bleep** cheek. You don't take away a perfectly good feature without having a replacement ready, that's just ridiculous--and of course, that isn't what you did at all. ('You' being the company, not you, specifically, person whose job it is to answer this nonsense with the company talking point.)

God, I'm so annoyed right now I could spit. But good job talking yourselves OUT of a sale. I might've bought a "My Car Thing," if you'd just kept Car View in the app and simply emailed me about this new product. It genuinely does look like a nice thing to have, and so long as it didn't have spyware features I would've snapped one up in an instant. Now, though? Heck naw. Not happening out of sheer, bullheaded spite. I'm also looking into spotify alternatives, because if this is the nonsense y'all are going to keep pushing, I'm out. Five years of customer loyalty down the drain just so you could hard sell your stupid device. Hope that doesn't work out for you.
