Spotify Bricked the Car Thing, So Let's Unbrick it With Easy Mods!

Spotify finally did it... they killed the Car Thing. But don't throw yours away! We can unbrick it! Or mod it! Your choice.
*Update* Unfortunately, Spotify has totally bricked the "unbrick" method, and it no longer works. So you should check out the other portions of my video.

Before I mention anything, a huge shoutout to the ThingLabs people. Join their discord for any troubleshooting questions or to help mod the Car thing.
