Default Pandora

As you know we have a Pandora option on our screen. Until last week I was able to bluetooth from phone to car with no problems. Now I cannot.I use an Android phone and Verizon as a carrier. The only variable and I believe I am stretching is Verizon did an upgrade recently.

Any ideas? I don't mind paying or whatever. Do you have to use a phone or is there a way to subscribe and listen from the car alone?
Thanks in advance

I began having problems getting Pandora to play on my 2015 Corvette also. It showed that my phone was paired with the car but Pandora did not play. I then shut the Galaxy phone down and restarted it. I also deleted the Bluetooth connection and reinstalled it. Now it seems to be working fine. You may want to try that. Norm

You need a phone.

Maybe one day in the future it might happen, as wifi is available via Onstar.

I no longer do Pandora via bluetooth, and use the aux cable instead. More reliable, and I think I get better fidelity.

I went to Verizon store and it did not help. The frustrating part, after unpairing and reinstalling phone and also uninstalling and reinstalling it, Pandora, is no better.

I am surprised others have not mentioned this problem

I'll bet that your problem is the Verizon upgrade. If it were me I'd use the aux output and cable.

My cable is longer than this, but you decide:

This probably has nothing to do with your issue, but....passed the Verizon store today and saw the pickets outside the store, on the highway. Verizon Union employees are on strike...probably just a coincidence.

I had the same issue. It would connect Bluetooth, but only play Pandora through the phone. Worked normal a few weeks ago.

I deleted the Bluetooth pairing from my phone (Android, HTC). Then, deleted the phone from the car Bluetooth paired device. Everything was clean. Paired the devices again and it was fixed. Back to normal. I'm also on Verizon. Thanks!

Appreciate responses.

I called Verizon and they inform me that their "upgrade" is a disaster with many complaints primarily with voice mail, but others. I have unpaired phone and uninstalled Pandora several times without success. I have have used the USB and still no luck. Again, thanks for suggestions.Best

I have an Iphone 6 that was playing Pandora and "my music" from the phone fine and then one day it stopped. I went to Verizon and they said it's not them, I went to the dealer and they said not us. The android streams just fine but the Iphone doesn't. Anyone with an Iphone have this issue? I've removed the phone done all the things you would try and so did the dealer. Any suggestions would be appreciated but please don't say get a different phone.


Thanks
