spotify_carthing_bt

A grab-bag of spotify car thing related hacks I'm working on.

deskthing-rs

A Rust port of https://github.com/relative/deskthing, which enables connecting the car thing directly to a PC, and interfacing with the spotify client via a custom spicetify extension.

At the time of writing, there is no prebuilt copy of the custom deskthing spicetify extension, so you'll need to install node and manually build + install the spicetify_ext extension.

Building the Rust code should be as easy as intalling Rust, cloning the repo, and running:

cargo run

Currently windows only, but it shouldn't be too hard to get it working on linux by using a lib like bluer.

Contributions are welcome and appreciated!

future projects

Connecting the stock firmware to host-side spotify is cool, sure, I'm far more excited about the possibility of writing a custom carthing daemon + gui app to do more exotic stuff with the hardware.

Expect to see some more code in this repo soon...
