Hi @Mjl7947 

Welcome to the community! Thanks for your post.

To help with connecting Pandora in your car, there are a few different ways this can work depending on your vehicle and phone. The most common options are:

• Bluetooth – pairing your phone to your car and streaming audio
• USB connection – plugging your phone into the car’s system
• Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or Android Auto Operating System – if your vehicle supports it, this gives you a more integrated experience with the Pandora app on your car’s display
• Built-in Pandora app – some vehicles have Pandora integrated directly into the infotainment system, allowing you to log in and listen without using your phone

Since setups can vary quite a bit, could you share a little more about your vehicle (make, model, and year) and how you’re trying to connect? That’ll help me give you more specific steps.

Thanks for the help with this!

2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S550

Hi @stewartbruce66 

Welcome to the Pandora Community!

For a 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550, the simplest way to listen to Pandora is by connecting your phone to your vehicle using Bluetooth. Once your phone is paired with the car, select Bluetooth Audio (or a similar media source) in your Mercedes infotainment system, then open the Pandora app on your phone and start playing your music.

If your S550 is equipped with the Mercedes Media Interface, you may also be able to connect your phone with a USB cable, depending on your phone and your vehicle's equipment.

If your vehicle has an aftermarket stereo, it may also support additional features like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, depending on the model.

Hope this helps!
