Dont you have a small widget in the upper right side of screen? Tap on it to show Now Playing screen.

Thanks, I see where the arrow is. I’m hoping the screen can return to ‘now playing’ if that is the last display on the screen.

I'm having the same problem discussed here in 2023. Pandora will play in my 2024 4Runner using apple car play, but only displays my stations but not Now Playing. I am using an iPhone 12 running IOS 18.0.1.

I'm having the same issue.  I can select my stations but after I select a station I get a Unable to load Content error message.

When I try to select a station it will not go to the now playing screen. Instead it just gives me an error message.

I'm having the same issue since updating to iOS 18. I have to push the icon for now playing to get it to switch. I've confirmed this is not an Apple issue. As a premium member I would expect Pandora to handle this quickly. Looks like I'll have to switch to Spotify.
