I just purchased a CX90 and it has the Pandora App listed. How do I go about listening to the App?

Welcome to community!

To clarify is the Pandora app you're seeing within the media apps found on your Mazda head unit or through Android Auto.

All Pandora automotive implementations require you to use a compatible mobile phone with an active internet connection in order to stream music in the car.

If you're connected to your car with your phone and running into trouble can you let me know if you see an error message or if there is a connection issue.

Thanks for the help!

I am trying to use the Pandora App on my mazda head unit under the Entertainment section. I figured since it wasn't grayed out I could use it. But I am not sure how to go about using it. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the follow up, @carriecpht.

Great, sounds like you're referencing PandoraLink in your Mazda.

Make sure that the Pandora app is installed on your mobile device. Then you can connect phone to your Mazda with a USB cord. You should see an Accessory Screen appear on your phone that let's you know that you're connected to your car.

Once connected you can use your car's controls to select PandoraLink and your station list should appear.

Let me know if you continue to have trouble.
