I download songs to Spotify with premium and use the 3.5mm jack to plug it into the aux jack in my car.

I guess a lot of newer cars have bluetooth pairing, but mine doesn't.

I have a car that does. My last phone would play audio on it for about 30 seconds and then immediately disconnect. On a previous version of the firmware it would reliably panic and reboot after ~20 minutes of playing music. It worked fine with other speakers but there was something"magical" going on between it and the car.
