When I am streaming Pandora over bluetooth, most of the time it just does not work and if it does work it plays a few seconds and then an error comes up that says music tracks not supported. My theory on this is the problem is caused by Gracenote. Gracenote is software that analyzes tracks for cover art etc. to display the art when playing the music. My 2018 Camry never had this problem and also did not have Gracenote. I have already talked to the Toyota dealership and they said everything is updated and it must be my phone (copout). I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and it is not the phone causing this issue. I have researched on the internet how to turn off or disable Gracenote and have not found a way to do this. The only article I found said to run the Gracenote update and shut off car in the middle of it. The problem with that is I can download the latest Gracenote update to a usb drive but when I put it in the usb port in my car it just says there is no music on it. Why am I sure it is Gracenote? Ok so usually when this error comes up it is showing the coverart for the Pandora song but errors out. If I turn off bluetooth and Pandora, swich audio source to fm and then back to bluetooth, turn bluetooth and Pandora back on, it does not show the cover art and will usually work and I believe that is because Gracenote stops operating when a error occurs and as long as I don't shut off the car etc. the problem is gone. It would be nice if I could drive my car instead of fighting with settings and garbage. Anyone else heard of this? I have already updated my phone to latest Android OS and the dealership says it is not the car. I have turned off anything I could find about Gracenote on the headunit settings but it still does this.
