Absolutely brilliant ! Works perfectly over Mirrorlink to Alpine ICS-X8 car head unit (Mirrorlink v1.00). [Not sure if it N9 works with Mirrorlink 1.1 units, from what I have read it doesn't, shame on Mirrorlink developers!] 

I already have Nokia Car Mode app installed. But unfortunately if you don't already have the Nokia Car Mode app you will have a difficult time finding it. I have searched everywhere for a backup copy of Nokia Car Mode but nowhere to be found and ex Nokia Mirrorlink developers don't answer email requests, they have moved on and not interested. The Mirrorlink Car Consortium is also useless.  

But not to worry because the CarSpot is app is still good outside the car (without mirrorlink). You can of course still use it as regular Spotify client with headphones and offline playlists (Premium account required). Audio quality (on extreme settings) is excellent and on par with mp3 320kbps.  It is stable and easy on the battery usage. So glad I found this on openrepos.net, score 10/10!! 

P.S. I am using PR 1.3.
