Hi @Croatianman

Welcome to community!

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with Pandora in your Honda! Could you tell me a little bit more about experience:

Android OS:
Pandora version:
How are you connected in your vehicle - Android Auto, PandoraLink or just Bluetooth?

Thanks!

THX... Yes, Android operating system 2 PHONES ,a Samsung 24 (the wife's)
and a Google Pixel 8 pro (mine). The phones are connected via BT. I have
not used Pandora in this 2016 Honda CRV for a while. However, when I went
to use the built in Pandora app in the CRV, I does not play with a message
about connecting your phone. They are confirmed connected in the Car's
Menu indicating both phones are connected via BT.

THX for your help and advice.

Hi @Croatianman

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, could you also confirm your Pandora version as well - let me know if you need help finding this.

Just wanted to clarify if you're connecting to another service like Android Auto. You mention an integrated app, and this can present itself in a couple of different ways - PandoraLink or Android Auto.

With PandoraLink, you'll need to connect to your vehicle with a USB cord in order to use Pandora.

Android Auto on the other hand, has the ability to be wired or wireless, depending on your version.

If may be helpful to share a picture of what you're seeing. The next the message comes up, take a picture of the message and also the Pandora app you see in your vehicle. You can include pictures here, but please do this through a web or mobile browser. You won't be able to include pictures through the email notification you may receive.

Thanks for the help!
