I used to have a Samsung phone which had no problem connecting with my car’s Pandora. Got an iPhone which now generates on message on the car dash that I need to check whether Pandora’s installed correctly. Playing through Bluetooth works but there’s a law against holding the phone while driving. Not a life crisis but I’d prefer Pandora. Ideas welcomed!

Hi @Rocky7
Welcome to community!
Sorry for any trouble connecting in your Subaru. Has this been happening or is it a recent issue?
Based on your description it sounds like your connecting to PandoraLink with a USB cord.
If you haven't tried yet, I would begin by uninstall and reinstall the Pandora app on your iPhone. To do that*:
*Please note that logging out of Pandora will remove your offline content and you'll need to re-download some of your offline content after reinstalling the app.
Also, I would try using a different USB to rule out the cord.
Let me know how it goes.
