Volvo Integrated App: Does Not Connect to Pandora

[Finchfry]

Same issue.  2019 Volvo S60.  Data plan works (Spotify works fine).  Pandora does not.  Logs in and shows playlist, but stays on "connecting" when trying to play a song.

I guess I’ll try as well. It’s been 2 years so once Pandora worked in my XC90

THANKS for your help. Do I need to have the builtin SIM card activated? My
car is 4 years old and the free cellular connection has expired.

Yep. You need to activate the cellular service.

@billshoff2 and @bflores71, technically you do NOT need to activate cellular just to test this if your car model supports connecting to an external Wi-Fi router.  My 2019 S60 supports this so I can park it in my garage and join my home network, or I can also put my cell phone in hotspot mode and have my car join that.

I tried logging in and it did not work. It’s still trying to connect

[bflores71]

Yes but that’s not the point. People want to listen to Pandora and that
requires an internet connection.

@bflores71 he wants to test first to see if this works.  I don't think it is reasonable to advise him that he needs to pay to reactivate his cellular connection before testing to see if it works.  Also, all of my suggestions provide you with an Internet connection.  You do not need to use the SIM card in your car if the car can access the Internet by joining an external Wi-Fi network.  That could be any Wi-Fi network that gets you Internet (mobile hot spot, cell phone, etc.).
