First off let me apologize for my ignorance. I've never used Pandora and only know its a music app used on phones. I've been car shopping and a Mazda CX-5 I'm interested in advertises Pandora internet radio integration. My current car has SiriusXM and I do use it a lot, but it doesn't need a phone to work. When Pandora comes standard with a car's infotainment system does it need a phone connected to work? Or is it stand alone like SiruisXM?&nbsp; Also, I know that when I'm driving cross country in the West far from towns my SiriusXM works fine since its satellite. Will Pandora in a car depend on proximity to cell towers to work? Thanks - I just want to know if the Mazda's lack of SiriusXM (which seems weird these days) is going to limit me listening to music in far flung places.</P> <P><I>Moderator Edit: Changing title for clarity</I></P> Mon, 12 Dec 2022 18:52:42 GMT https://community.pandora.com/t5/Automotive/Automotive-PandoraLink/m-p/116331#M3461 JeffHM 2022-12-12T18:52:42Z https://community.pandora.com/t5/Automotive/Automotive-PandoraLink/m-p/116404#M3466 <P>Hi <a href="https://community.pandora.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1246139">@JeffHM</a>!
