Hi @Herschenhous

Thanks for stopping by the community! I’m sorry for any frustration around your in-car experience.

I do see that you’ve already reached out to our Care Team, and it looks like they’ve followed up with you via email, so please keep an eye out for their reply. If you're still having trouble, feel free to respond directly to that email for additional assistance.

In the meantime, I took a quick look at your Pandora account. Please note that your subscription is tied to your Pandora account, not a specific device. As long as you’re logged into that account on a compatible device, you should have access to your Premium benefits.

There are a few different ways to listen in the car. Most commonly, this involves using a mobile device with a cellular connection (such as through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or Bluetooth). Some vehicles may also have a built-in Pandora app, but availability and features can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle.

I can confirm that your account is currently upgraded to an individual Pandora Premium subscription. With this type of plan, playback is intended for one device at a time, so it won’t work simultaneously across multiple devices.

If you’re sharing the account but not listening at the same time, I’d recommend double-checking that your wife’s mobile device is logged into the same Pandora account (using the same email address and password associated with the subscription). That will ensure she’s able to access the Premium benefits while listening.

If you’re planning to listen at the same time, you may want to consider our Premium Family Plan, which allows up to 6 people to have their own accounts under one subscription, all with Premium access. You can find more information about Premium Family here.

Hope this helps!
