We've noticed some issues that may be affecting your ability to listen to Pandora using CarPlay. Our tech team is aware of this issue. Updates will be posts as they are received. Related threads can be found here:
This did not work for me. It still opens up constantly. Upon connecting, then upon closing the app. It won't go away. I have unchecked "Enable Launch from Car" under "BluetoothDevices" in the Advanced Settings. What now?

Hey Pandora, listen to what this person is saying! We are tired of being told to change the settings. We have all changed our settings. They have nothing to do with the problem!
He’s asking a great question Pandora. When the heck are you going to address this?
This solution does not work

Is there a solution? I may just delete Pandora.
Honestly I don’t know, I ended up deleting the app entirely 2 years ago since I hadn’t been using Pandora much anyway. My guess is there isn’t one seeing as how as of this past December people still are having issues. It seems like Pandora just isn’t compatible with car stereos
It’s a problem on most cars I think…my previous car was a 2013 Nissan Altima and I had this problem from the very beginning…this issue goes back over 10 years now. If I remember correctly it would work as intended after app/software updates on iOS but then the same thing would happen again after awhile. When it started happening in my new car I just got rid of the app
Apparently the new update wiped my disabling of Pandora in Car Play. Almost got completely lost (again) because I couldn't load my map.
This is a severe safety hazard. How has it gone on so long?!?!?!?!?
Here it is May of 2023 and this is STILL an ongoing issue.🤦🏻♀️
Same issue that only started last week - every single time I get in the car, Pandora automatically opens on the iPhone and connects to Bluetooth; since I haven't actually opened the app on my phone, I can't close it - I do NOT have CarPlay...deleted Pandora until it's fixed:
iOS 16.6
2016 Nissan Leaf
OEM stereo
Hello. We are now in February 2024 and it looks like Pandora will not be doing anything to fix this ? Then this is a good bye to pandora cuz I can’t with this stupid app popping back up every time I try to close it. Uninstalled. Fix your stuff.
Apparently not. I deleted Pandora for a while. Decided to download again so I could listen to music at work. I can't get my car to stop playing Pandora now!
PLEASE FIX THIS!!!
it is now 2024. This has been an ongoing problem for years! We all have turned off car play in the settings. That is clearly NOT the solution.
S23, 2023 Mazda CX30 rental. Same issue, plug in USB and Pandora takes over. Close out pandora and it just comes back.
Does not do this in our '22 Forester Premium. Just in this Mazda, via USB.
Same issue for years. Disabling the launch from car feature stopped the app from automatically playing music, but not from opening. It’s an Issue if I try to do talk to text - it always opens and stops my talk to text from going through. Dangerous! Finally deleted the pandora app. Let us know when you figure this out!
This has been going on in subaru vehicles as far back as 2017, as far as I can tell. It's now 2024. Pandora does not care so. The only workable solutions is to delete pandora. Do better pandora!!!! This is utter nonsense!
