Hi @GawdSlayer
Thanks for clarifying!
I think the confusion came from the term "autoplay," since Pandora also has a feature called AutoPlay that works a little differently. Pandora's AutoPlay feature is designed to keep the music playing after you've reached the end of an album, playlist, or selected song by automatically playing similar music.
What you're describing definitely sounds different. Based on your description it sounds like when your phone connects to Android Auto, Pandora opens but doesn't automatically resume playback. Instead, you're prompted to open Pandora and then have to manually select a station to begin listening.
I've gone ahead and fowarded these additional details along to our engineering team for further review.
Thanks again for taking the time to clarify and for your patience in the meantime!
