Android Auto: Pandora launches when connected

[clchecketts]

My Auto-Start is turned off in my pandora app but it still automatically turns on when connecting to Android Auto. I also have the continue to play music function within my Android Auto app turned off. I don't understand why it keeps running.

I also have the issue with it automatically starting in vehicle. I have turned the Bluetooth on then back off to try to fix and it still connects. It is irritating. I keep all my apps updated, phone too.

I cannot try from vehicle because the app is on the phone and there's no access to the app in the truck.

Pandora version 2411.1

Android phone 14/ 6.1

@beckyneilsen I moved your post over to this existing thread: Android Auto: Pandora launches when connected

Can you please confirm if you have disabled the Launch from car option in your account settings?

You can disable this functionality using the following steps: 

• Open Pandora.
• Tap Profile.
• Next select the Settings gear in the upper right corner.
• Tap Advanced.
• Under Bluetooth for devices uncheck the box next to Launch from car.

Let me know if this helps.

I was able to get the problem resolved several months back. I cannot remember if following these steps is what resolved it, but I checked my settings and they are set in this manner so it is possible that this is the solution that worked.
