CarPlay: Now Playing screen missing

SasquatchWade

I have a 2023 Toyota Tacoma and when I connect my iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 16.4) - I can choose what station I want to listen to, and the music will begin to play. However, it never changes over to the “Now Playing” screen, and the option isn’t there to choose. It’s just the list of stations and the music playing in the background. Anyone else experience this? Is there a fix? Thank you.

It appears that as of 03/17/2023 the now playing is back. I did update to IOS 16 Beta 4. Also noticed Pandora updated on 03/16/2023.

Hope this helps everyone else with this issue.

It’s happening on my Apple Car Play display screen. I had the Now Playing available until the past couple weeks! Is there a fix for this in the car?

Hi @SasquatchWade @Dianahernandez1 and @MistaYu! Thanks for posting your experience.

I'm happy to pass this along to our engineering team. Can you let me know the following info:

  • iPhone OS version:
  • Pandora version:

Would you say that this change happened towards the end of February or more middle of February?

Also happening on my 2017 Passat with CarPlay. iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 16.4 beta, but it’s been buggy for over a month now. Pandora version 2302.2

when I open the Pandora app, I get the list of my stations, but I have to click on the one I want 2-4 times to get it to start playing, then the Now Playing screen never shows. On my CarPlay Home Screen, I can see the small version of Now Playing, but when I touch it, it just brings up my list of stations.

Pandora Update: 3/9/23

Thanks for posting everyone! This is incredible helpful information.

I wasn't able to replicate on my end with CarPlay, however, I've gone ahead and passed this along to our engineering team to look into further.

If someone could be so kind as to send over a picture of this happening in CarPlay, I'd like to include this in my report.

 

If you're a new listener who is also experiencing the Now Playing screen missing when using CarPlay, please feel free to post to this thread. Be sure to include your Pandora version and I'll be sure to add you to our ticket.

Thanks again and we appreciate your patience in the meantime.

*Please note that this post may be marked as the solution to help draw attention to the current update. This thread will be updated with new information as it is provided to the community team.

I was going to post a picture for you, but this morning it worked just fine. I selected my station and it went to the now playing screen. Not sure if something was done on the back end or what, but all is good (at least for me) now. 👍

The only things that I can think of that changed was a couple security updates for iOS and a new beta release. 🤷‍

Thank you and good luck to anyone else still experiencing the issue.
