Is anyone experiencing any Auto-launch issues with Pandora since the Android 9 - Pie update? Since the update I can't get Pandora to open on my 2018 Honda CRV factory head unit. It just says no device connected. However, Pandora soes work under AA and I can stream with Bluetooth.

Any and all suggestions appreciated
 
Yup, it's not working like it used to. Mine will sometimes launch, sometimes not. Connect to BT, not connect to BT. Show/open through Pandora (Mazda infotainment) but mostly not. I find myself yelling at the Google lady to launch it and then just select my phone/BT and it works. Hopefully it gets fixed because, although she does listen, I don't like yelling at the nice passive aggressive Google lady :D

I found a work around that has been working consistently. It's a PITA but at least the vehicles Pandora app will sync with the phone.

Start the vehicle and let the headunit boot up. Start the Pandora app on the phone. In Pandora go to Settings and Advanced. Uncheck and then recheck the Launch From Car box. It should then sync with the headunit.
