Thanks for the reply. I have the auto play setting disabled. That didn't work for a while, but eventually, and I'm guessing it was Car Play glitch all along, it did start working.

The album art (small widget and I want no widget) forced upon the lock screen issue is happening with all music apps on the latest version of iOS, so it's certainly not a Pandora issue. This issue appears to be an annoying iOS thing. I guess many people complained they couldn't control their music through the lock screen that Apple made it mandatory.
