Android Auto Operating System (AAOS)

[afink]

I was told by my dealer that in my brand new 2022 Yukon, pandora would work through the dash without my phone needing to be connected.  Yet the day I go to pickup up my car, Pandora is not even an option through the dash. The only way Pandora will work in a brand new Yukon 2022 is if my phone is connected.  I have chosen not to accept the car as a result.  I don't want to tinker with other music services and I don't want my phone connected to my car.  I want to use my pandora that has years and years of my thumbs ups and downs ingrained in it.  I have an unlimited data plan and it was turned on when we were testing. We searched the app store for Pandora and every single other music service (iheart, spotify, youtube, amazon music) was searchable and downloadable as an APP except pandora. Is there any way at all to get pandora to work inside of the dash of my brand new 2022 Yukon without my phone being connected ?  This dealer did a lot of work to order this new car and spec it out to my liking and I am feeling very guilty that I don't want to take the car because of this pandora issue. Please help.

Hi @afink! Welcome to community. 

It sounds like your vehicle may use Google Built-in an Android Automotive Operating System. Unfortunately, Pandora does not support the use of the Google Built-in feature. Listener with vehicles that support this OS will need to connect their mobile device either through Bluetooth or Android Auto to use Pandora. 

The best place to post feedback about this is on the Feature Request board. From there, other users can review and vote for the ideas they'd like to see for Pandora. 

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Update:

A feature request has been posted in the Feature Request Board. Listeners who would like to see this feature available for Pandora can vote on this idea here: App for Android Automotive (AAOS/Google Built In)

GM is moving to AAOS for all cars after 2022. It would be nice if you as a moderator could provide information on *if* if will be supported and *when* it will roll out. I am looking at a new car and it has Spotify. Shame Pandora is not there.

I have a new 2023 Volvo XC-40 Recharge EV and was looking forward to using Pandora in the car without using my phone.   But when I try to load Pandora in the car using the Play Store, it's not an app that's available.  Am I doing something wrong, or it just isn't available or compatible at this time?  Thanks.

I am not seeing any response to this post.   I have the same issue.  I have a 2023 Volvo XC40 recharge EV and it has google car,,, but when I go to the play store,  Pandora isn't an option.    Is there  a reason for this and will it be available in the future.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.  Hopefully someday! 🙏  What do they call this, "1st World Problems"? 😄  I don't care, I want Pandora in my car without having to use my phone and Bluetooth!

Hi @WAZ and @kingsarenum1! Welcome to community.

It sounds like your Volvo's use Android Automotive Operating System. Unfortunately, Pandora does not support AAOS at this time, however, a feature request has been submitted. The best way to get ideas like this heard is by voting on the request - App for Android Automotive (AAOS/Google Built In).

Thanks for being part of community!

Are there any plans to release an integrated app for the 2023 GMC 1500 Sierra trucks?  I was disappointed that my 2017 had an integrated app and with the new Android based radio with Google play, it doesn't have an app available for download.

Also a 2023 GM owner with AAOS. Would like to see this app hit the playstore.

Just bought a new 2023 Honda Accord Touring with google built in. I was able to download the Spotify app in the google store but I can not find the Pandora app. Does anyone know anything about this? I would love to be able to jump in my car and play Pandora without having to bring my phone. 2023 TOURING comes with 3 years unlimited data for in car apps. Would love to see Pandora on the list of options to download.
