Folks will need to buy and connect a 12V FM transmitter, which can cost about $20. According to GearBrain, this may be enough to get Spotify working, but it’ll cost a little extra. FM transmitter (lighter socket plug-in)Ĭars that are too old to have a USB port may still have a lighter socket. This is more complicated because Spotify tracks are protected, so you’ll have to convert Spotify tracks before they can be put onto a USB. Rather than connecting your phone to your car with a USB cable, you can download Spotify tracks onto a USB and plug that into your car. The other USB option is more complicated. However, you will still have to change songs by using your phone. Like the aux cable, this will connect your device to the car’s stereo, and you can use Spotify relatively normally. The first is the simplest option is to plug your phone or tablet into the car with a USB cable.

However, like the Bluetooth option, you’ll also have to fiddle with your device to change songs. Your stereo will play whatever’s playing on Spotify. To access this option you plug the auxiliary cable into your phone or tablet, turn on the car and its stereo, select “Aux-Input,” open up the Spotify app, and use the app like normal from there. GearBrain notes that the auxiliary port looks like the port for headphones. Many cars built in the last decade or two will probably be able to use this cable.

However, unlike Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you’ll probably have to fiddle with your phone or tablet to change songs, which should only be done when it is safe.
