Has anyone been experiencing any problems with Pandora while using Apple CarPlay after updating your iPhone to iOS 18?

CarPlay: Stations won't load with iOS 18 beta

Bytebox12 — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 00:03:37 GMT

In the last five days I am unable to load Pandora stations onto my Apple Car Play. I have removed the Pandora app from my phone and reinstalled it twice, I have disconnected my phone from my car and reconnected it twice, I have checked for software updates for my car (none are needed) rebooted my phone twice, reset my network on the iPhone twice. Nothing. It will not load the stations even though the app shows on my Car Play. It was just fine until five days ago. I have an iPhone 12Pro. I have been in contact with Apple and Lexus and this is not their issue. I am at my wit’s end here, and none of your troubleshooting suggestions have worked so…..I’m at my wit’s end here. This is a Pandora issue now.

Hi @barnettjordan7

Sounds like you're on the beta version of iOS 18, since the official release date is on Monday, September 16th. While Pandora should work reasonable well, beta versions are unsupported and may cause unforeseen issues.

I would update the Pandora app to the latest version, 2408.1 and try connecting to CarPlay once again. If you're still having trouble can you let me know more about your experience.

Thanks!

Hi @Bytebox12

Looks like you're on iOS 18 beta. While Pandora should work reasonable well with beta versions there may be unforeseen issues as it is not technically supported.

I see that you recently updated to the latest version of Pandora, 2408.1. Has your experience improved with this update?

If not, I'm happy to report this to our engineering team. When using CarPlay, are you connected wirelessly or with a USB cord?

After upgrading to iOS 18, my stations will not display in CarPlay, it keeps saying “loading”.

I installed iOS 18 yesterday and now the Pandora screen is blank and I'm not able to access Pandora from CarPlay. This is a non beta version.

I installed the official iOS 18 last night and CarPlay no longer lists my Pandora stations on my 2024 Subaru Outback.

iOS 18 and Carplay

I updated to iOS 18 this morning, not beta, and I’m really sad that I did. My stations are there, but can’t seem to be used with CarPlay. I can’t really change them and it tells me that they can’t load.. I listen to Pandora every single day in my car, so it’s a bit disappointing. I’ve seen everything saying that it’s just a beta problem, but this is not beta so what do we do?

iOS 18.0

After installing iOS 18.0. CarPlay does not work properly. The recent tab doesn’t get past loading…. If you go to the for you tab it will play but comes up with “There was a problem loading this content”

I had no issues until the 2nd to last 18 beta update. I am now running the released 28.
The Pandora app works fine outside of CarPlay. I can start the app on my phone and it works a little better with CarPlay.
From my perspective, Apple broke the link to CarPlay. Hopefully Pandora can resolve it for us.

I started experiencing the same thing after upgrading to IOS 18. It seems if I restart Pandora on the phone it will allow me to select a station, but if I try to change selections in CarPlay, it just gets stuck saying “loading”. Very annoying. I updated Pandora to no avail.

I ran into the same issue after updating to iOS 18, at least Pandora still plays if started on the phone and viewed in the small shared screen with the navigation in CarPlay.

Same issue here. I never had any issues with Pandora until I updated my iPhone to the latest Full solid public release OS18 Not the Beta Version. I never installed the Beta on my phone. 2019 Mercedes E Class iPhone 13 ProMax with OS 18 Stations fail to load on CarPlay. I deleted the app from my iPhone. Unsynced the iPhone from my vehicle, Reinstalled the Pandora app and paired the phone with CarPlay again, did not help any, Same exact issue. Message says "There was a problem loading this content" Pandora still plays on CarPlay but will not display the song playing nor highlight the station playing.

Yeah that work around kind of works, except if you want to change stations it won't open the station you select, IF it changes it at all.

I’m having the same issue as well on my 2017 Honda CRV. I have an iPhone 13 with the IOS 18. I tried restarting my phone, unplugging it from the USB and reinserting it. I hate having to use my phone to change stations or songs while driving.
