Hi @xfidelitydj! Thanks for posting.

I've gone ahead and made a small change on your account. Let me know how it goes in your GMC and if you notice any changes. 

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem that started a few days ago. IPhone 6s, IOS 13.6.1, latest Pandora app. Stops playing after each song, must press play again to resume. This behavior is seen when connecting to a Volkswagon EOS (2015) and a Ford Ranger (2019) via bluetooth (both vehicles) and bluetooth and USB on the Ranger.

Hi @greywall! Thanks for posting.

I've made a small change to your account that my help with this. Since this is happening in 2 different styles of vehicles I'm curious to hear your feedback. Can you let me know how it goes when you've tried it in both your cars?

Hope it helps out. Thanks!

Has there been a solution to this issue? I am experiencing this as well in a 2019 Honda Pilot in Apple Car Play. It just started this morning and I have had this vehicle for over a year

Hi there I have a 2018 f150 with the factory stereo and I’m also having this issue.  When I’m connected via USB from my iPhone, music stops when the song finishes- can Pandora look into this? I’m running version 2009.2 of the app on my iPhone. Thank you!

Hi @Trucks! Thanks for posting.

I made a small change to your account that may help. If you aren't seeing any difference in playback, you may need to sign out and then back in again for the changes to take affect. Keep in mind, signing out may remove any offline content you have on your device. You'll need to download them once again.

Let me know how it goes.

Pandora stops playing after each song on Apple CarPlay

Thanks Tanner - it seems whatever change was made fixed the issue.  Just got my truck back and with some driving around, it continued to play without a logout.  Thanks again!

[TannerPandora]

Thanks for the follow up @Trucks! That's what I like to hear. 🎉🙌🏻 I'll pass this on to our engineers and let them know. 

Have a great Sunday! 🎃

I'm having the same problem with my 2020 Dodge Charger when playing Pandora on Apple CarPlay. It stops after one song. Please help.

Thanks,

Will do. Thx

This just started for me yesterday. When I start my car, a song will start. Once the song is over, no more music plays until my car is in park again. I have a 2019 MINI Cooper convertible, Pandora version 2009.2.1 😒 I’ve checked BT and everything seems to be connected.

I also have the same problem. Everything worked fine until the last update. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the pandora app, but am having the same issues. No problem on my iPhone, but when plugged into Apple CarPlay music just hangs after one song. Is there a solution?

I've tried deleting my Pandora app and reinstalling it, didn't work. Pandora will play via bluetooth on my headphones, just play one song on my 2019 F150 via bluetooth. I've tried playing Pandora through Apple Car play connected with USB and still doesn't work. Using Iphone 11 with current IOS update. Thanks.

Please help. I must press play for each song and it’s terribly frustrating.

My 2019 Honda Pilot also just started playing one song only. Worked for 1 1/2 years. Please help
