I have a 2015 Honda CRV AWD Touring and an Android Samsung S9+ Android 10 phone which all of a sudden (a while back) quit letting me connect to the Pandora connection on my Honda. I liked that feature because it allowed me to switch channels in Pandora on the vehicle screen without picking up my phone. After reading some messages and playing around with my Samsung S9+ phone, I came up with this solution. Apparently the Pandora Phone app update of 2208.8.1 (I think) broke the compatibility with communications between the phone and vehicle of the some of the older vehicles. I am just guessing here but I think Pandora programmers adding new functionality to newer cars with Android Auto may have been the reasoning behind this. Anyway the solution that worked for me is to ROLL back the phone app to the 2205.1.1 version to restore communications compatibility and lock that app on that version by turning off the auto update function of that app only on your Android phone. Step by step here is what I did. Step 1: On phone open Play Store, click your profile pic in the upper right corner, click Manage Apps and Device, Click the Manage Tab at top, find Pandora App in the list and select it, click the three dot menu at top right, uncheck Enable Auto Update, this setting will be saved nd Pandora ONLY will no longer update. Close everything on phone. Step 2: On phone open Settings GearBox, then Apps, then Pandora, in lower right corner click Force Stop, then Uninstall. Step 3: On Computer or Phone, download the following file. You can do this on your computer then put it on your phone or search "Android Pandora 2205.1.1 APK" and download on your phone, either way should work. https://apkcombo.com/pandora/com.pandora.android/download/phone-2205.1.1-apk Step 4: On phone click on the APK file or install using the phones installer, just get the APK file installed on your phone. If it complains that it can't install app from that location, takes whatever steps necessary to allow the installation. I installed this exact file and my phones virus scanner said it was clean and it works just like I'm used to it working again. Step 5: Final step. On phone open Pandora, enter your account info. Then click on your profile in Pandora, then the settings gearbox in Pandora, scroll to the bottom and check version should be 2205.1.1. You might go back to Step 1 just to check that Auto Update of Pandora is still UNCHECKED so it won't do this again. Have fun and drive safe😀 Robert W Harper😊
