Mobile music player app interface, with the song playing called "My life is "Wrapped" up" by "Spotify Car Thing." The song art shows a Spotify Car Thing mounted to a dashboard of a car driving down the road, and on the Car Thing it says "Car Thing is discontinued and no longer operational" on a white background. Underneath the song art and title/artist is a playhead with shuffle, previous song, play, next song, and loop. Under that is the iFixit logo in the bottom left corner and "What happened" in the bottom right, with a blue arrow pointing to the right.

Spotify killed the Car Thing, but they don't have to die! When a company like Spotify decides to generate huge amounts of unnecessary e-waste, the community steps in to save them from the landfill.
