Honda CVR: Can't Get Pandora to Play Via BT Connection

Croatianman — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 20:12:34 GMT

My Google phone PIxel 8 Pro is connected via BT , but when I select the Pandora Icon in Audio on the CRV, it does not play saying I need to connect the phone via BT - which it is?? When I connect a USB Cable , it works as well as TIDAL, Spotify and other Music Streamers . But I can only make selections via the Phone!! Any Advice ??

Hi @Croatianman

Welcome to community!

Sorry for any trouble. When you say you connect to your car, are you connecting to Android Auto?

In the meantime, could you confirm the following device information:

Pandora version:
Android version:

If yes to Android Auto, it sounds like you're connecting wireless when you receive the message about connecting your phone via Bluetooth. Does this message appear on your phone or on the infotainment screen?

When you connect via USB does Pandora on Android Auto become unresponsive or does the option for Pandora no longer appear?

Thanks for the help with this additional questions.

Use your mobile device only when conditions allow and as permitted by applicable law.
