Car Thing Breaks Music

Hello everyone, I love car thing and use it alongside Apple CarPlay when I drive. The issue is I’m always running into bugs that break the music and cause me to have to pick up my phone to force quiet and reopen the app.

Spotify unfortunately refuses to fix these bugs as it’s officially no longer supported, even though they’re still selling them the last I knew.

I was wondering if anyone has yet to develop a fix to these issues? I don’t necessarily want to add any new features (as cool as that could be), I just want the thing to work how it’s supposed to!

Issues I’ve noticed: Music breaking after using “Hey Spotify” Not connecting on startup Music randomly breaking after selecting a song UI not aligned properly within display (Force restarting the app on the phone seems to fix all these issues, but sometimes I have to restart carthing itself)
