My current car setup is an Alpine head unit with two inputs, one with a 3.5mm headphone jack output which I currently use to listen to Spotify on my budget-level Android phone. My Alpine deck also has an iPod setting which plugs into the dock of iPod for a more clean sound. The sound is vastly superior to what I hear coming out of the 3.5mm jack.
So I think I'm going to purchase a used iPod touch that can run Spotify(I'm not going to buy an iPhone). My question is whether Spotify would work while using the iPod dock. Because when I plug my standard iPod into the dock, the controls on the iPod become disabled and I can only control it from the stereo head unit controls.
So I'm wondering if anyone has a setup like this, Spotify on an iPod Touch or even iPhone plugged into a car stereo with an iPod dock. Have you encountered any problems?
To my knowledge Spotify do not officially support any form is USB connection for content delivery, apart from with Ford AppLink so how smoothly the system works is often down to the individual system.
My car only has AUX-IN so I don't have any experience myself.

The Spotify app works just fine over my Kenwood's iPod function. The head unit buttons all work to navigate between songs in the app 🙂
What model Kendwood do you have? Did you have to install the kenwood music controller app? Thanks!
