STOCKHOLM: Spotify is planning to release an in-car music player later this year for about US$100 (RM414), says the Financial Times.
Early last year, rumours started spreading that Spotify could be developing an in-car music device complete with 4G and voice control; however, the company declined to say any more on the matter than just that such system was simply undergoing testing.
On Friday, though, the Financial Times confirmed that the device is coming to the US later this year.
In addition to the voice control and 4G support that previous rumours suggested, the device is also expected to support the ability to preset buttons to particular playlists and connect to your car's sound system via Bluetooth.
While Spotify is allegedly partnering with Flex for the hardware, neither company has commented on the matter, though the former has recently registered with the FCC to sell wireless devices, so it's likely that this rumoured one is the purpose of that registration.
Just last week, the company added Car View with the newest application update further solidifying Spotify's place in the automobile entertainment market alongside Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
