iOS 18 and Pandora up to date and having all the same issues. Has been going on for several weeks. Tried all the trouble shooting rec's and nothing worked.
I tried Pandora on another car, a Genesis and connected directly instead of Bluetooth and got the same error of "There was a problem loading this content". So, 2 different vehicles, same Iphone with IOS 18, one using Bluetooth and one hard wired. Both have same problem.
I tried on 4 Hondas, 3 Nissans, 2 Jaguars, 1 Chevy, and a Partridge in a pear tree... same issues.
I have the latest updates for Pandora and ios-18 on 3 different iPhones tested on same cars above... same issues.
I have one iphone 12 mini ios-17.7 and tested on same cars above, NO issues.
Pandora does NOT have a FIX yet... it's been over a month...
This is why I am going to Spotify! Nobody at pandora can give an answer it’s crazy they can’t fix this
Same problem with my x5
I am having this problem since updating to iOS 18.0.1
Same problem with iOS 18.0.1 in an X3 with Apple Carplay. I can always get Pandora to play music but consistently get the error message "There is a problem loading this content." Sometimes it will display my "Recent Stations" and sometimes it will not. When Recent Stations is blank, I can usually find the station using the "My Collection" option on the car's touch screen. Before this problem started, I could touch the station that was playing on the car's touch screen and it would display the song that was playing. Now that feature does not work. However, there is a triangle symbol on the right side of the screen that will take you to the details of the song that is playing. Looking forward to an update/fix that will resolve this problem.
Same problem with Kia Telluride and IOS 18.01
Hasn’t worked for me since upgrading to ios18. No matter the ios or pandora version. ios18 has been out a month this is a bit ridiculous. Is there one guy working on this?

Still having the issue of “problem loading content.”
I’m glad I’m not the only one! I updated my iOS and now I receive an error message anytime I try to use the pandora app on Apple car play. This is very frustrating. The only way I can override it, is by manually using my phones pandora app-which is not ideal if driving. I hope pandora comes out with an update to fix this . Otherwise I’ll likely end up cancelling the subscription
Still having the same issue. 2023 F150
There are 4 iPhones in my family... all upgraded to ios-18 and all now have issues with CarPlay in all our cars...
Down graded 3 iPhones to ios-17.7 (not an easy proce$$) and Pandora now works without issues on CarPlay...
Kept one iPhone on ios-18 to see when Pandora will FIX, its been over a month...
Tell your Family, Friends, Co-workers not to upgrade to ios-18 if they use Pandora/CarPlay.
And keep getting message that content is unable to load. Started happening after I installed IOS 18 on iphone.
I’m fully up to date and this is happening to me as well
Still having the same problem with Apple CarPlay in iOS 18. It’s been over a month since I posted last time and have seen a few updates on Pandora but none address this problem.
is this something Pandora is able to fix or is this something outside your control?
Same problem! 2023 Honda Pilot. Tried all the fixes and problem still exists. Sometimes an attempt to use Pandora also then causes my FM stereo to not play if I try to switch over to FM
