Came across this answer to my complaint in a Spotify community thread. Status changed to: Closed Hello everyone, Thank you for your reports so far. We can confirm that support for Pioneer and JVC-Kenwood car audio head units has been deprecated. This means it will no longer be possible to launch the built-in Spotify app from the interface, but you should still be able to play audio from your mobile devices via Bluetooth or through a USB cable. Thanks for understanding.
