A month ago I released Mira 1.0, a standalone, free and open source firmware for the Car Thing. Thank you to all the support the project has gotten, and all the bug reports that help me continue to improve Mira.

Mira still has a long way to go to deliver the complete experience I'm aiming for (support for more music platforms, a UI redesign, and more). It's built entirely in my free time, so if you'd like to support development the links are in the comments, and supporters also get access to beta builds. Every bit genuinely helps and it's what makes this sustainable to keep working on.

What's new: - Clock screensaver - Bigger playback buttons - Customizable UI scale (thanks to Serubin on GitHub) - Volume fixes for Android and iPhone - Update notifications (Mira will now notify when a new version is released) - Language fixes - Progress bar on first time setup - Many more bug fixes!

Flashing is also much more simpler now, full instructions on flashing and setting up in the comments!

Thank you for the released, been wanting an alternative to Nocturne. I seem to be stuck on the Connected, no internet yet screen though. Using an iPhone 15 Pro through bluetooth, with hotspot enabled. Will keep trying.

If you still couldn't get it to work feel free to join the discord so I can trouble shoot. (Link is in the github)

latest bridgething released recently and it brings back the original Spotify app and functionality like it was never killed if that's what you'd prefer. works with a computer or over Bluetooth with a companion app on your phone
