I have had the Pandora App on the MyLink work for me twice now but I cannot ever seem to figure out how or why (or replicate it).

 

I am using an iPhone and I was under the impression that the app did not work with iPhone but I have gotten it to work twice now. I was just going to post and see if anyone else on here has figured out how. The only thing I remember from the two times that was the same is that I had closed and reopened the Pandora App on my phone. I cannot remember if I was plugged in or BT both times, I believe I was plugged in this last time.

Pandora only works when the iPhone is hooked up to one of the USB ports that way its displayed and functional on the touch screen , Bluetooth works also but not functional on the screen push media button to aux for Bluetooth

To add to that, on mine, the iphone needs to be connected with the USB and bluetooth turned off.

That is weird, my Bluetooth is on 100% of the time for my watch so this was while it was on. I have not had these buttons pop up on this screen before these two times and I don't really change settings other than if Wifi is on or not.

Of all of the Pandora threads out there, this seems to be the closest one to what I'm experiencing, so I'm "re-opening" this one.

I have noticed with my truck that I can only get Pandora to work via USB if I use one of the three on the front center console, and never one of the two in the center armrest. BUT, my MP3 flash-drive works get in the armrest.

 

Anyone else notice this?

Nope - I always have mine plugged into the USB in the armrest. I have tried to replicate this with both WiFi on and off and am still at a loss. Seems like it just happens sometimes and is more of a fluke than something I can reliably replicate (which does not make sense to me).

 

I just use apple carplay and all is right with the world...

Mine works great.I push the Pandora button on screen and I never have to touch my phone. I have never plugged mine in works great. I'm thinking of cancelling my xm because I use it so much. And it plays more of the music I like. Btw...does it still show the album cover on the sreen in the 16 and 17's?

Yes, it will show the album cover over both carplay and Bluetooth. The only thing I can't get over Bluetooth is the thumb up and thumb down buttons with my iPhone.

My iPhone 6+ will not connect with Pandora with my phone connected to the USB in the armrest, except for via Bluetooth. When playing via Bluetooth, I do not see the album covers. I may have to play with the settings on my phone. It may turn out that the USB issue is a '15 and older issue, since Nick and I have '15s. My wife and I dumped XM just before I retired from USAF, all of their music channels were getting really repetitive, we were predicting the next 4-5 songs accurately. Now that we have unlimited internet on our phones, we listen to FREE Pandora, and don't mind the commercials.

That kinda sucks...the thumb up and down is nice. Once you do so many thumbs up it makes a station called thumbprint radio. Then it plays those songs. Thumb it down and it won't play them.

Something I noticed about Pandora this weekend, I have had to "force close" and reopen the Pandora app, on my iPhone, on several occasions, to get the album covers to show on my infotainment screen. At times the album covers would quit showing and/or the "thumbs" would quit responding between the infotainment screen and my phone. I am now in the habit of turning Pandora off on my phone between uses, 99/100, when I reconnect with my truck, the album covers will quit showing if I don't.

Found this using the "Search", and it seems like the place for my issue. I have an Samsung Android and having issues getting the Pandora to work consistently. The phone automatically connects to truck, and the truck will display "Acquiring Pandora"...then go to the station "2017 County"....then go into "Please check connection" or something to that effect.....my Phone shows it's hooked to the truck.....Pandora on the phone is playing, but no sound from either the Phone or Truck. Sometimes when I back out of Pandora on the truck, toggle between "Audio" and "Pandora", it may start working, but most the time won't, so I just leave it be and listen to the radio. What is going on ?

I'd help but the iPhone does not have that functionality so I cannot say. Have you tried turning blutooth on then back off to see if resetting the connection helps?

 

I have issues getting the truck to recognize carplay every now and then when I plug my phone in. Not often but has happened more than once. One thing I can say for sure is these systems are finicky! Although I will take this feature 90% of the time over 0% of the time :)

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
