Hi @mrbobC
There are two version of Android Auto.
The first, a phone-based app that projects a simplified version of your Android phone’s interface onto your car’s infotainment screen. You connect your phone (via USB or wirelessly), and the car displays an interface controlled by your phone.
The second, which your vehicle is equipped with, is Android Auto Operating System. A full operating system built into the car itself, based on Android. The car has Android built in, so it can run apps and functions natively, without needing a phone.
I've noted your feedback around AAOS to our products team for future improvements to the Pandora app.
