Thanks for responding. I am using the Pandora app that I downloaded directly into my Honda Pilot via the Google Play Store app built in to the Pilot's infotainment system; it uses the 3 years of data that came with my Honda purchase.  In fact, to be on the safe side, I tried all this with my phone turned completely off to eliminate any chance of it having a connection to my phone. I also have tried Spotify, Amazon Music, and Tidal, and they do not give me this issue at all.  I hear the songs straight from the beginning. The Pandora app version is 2607.3, and the infotainment system is running Android 14.. I do hope this could be resolved; it's annoying enough that I would drop the subscription if there isn't a fix. Thank you!       ... View more
