    Issues with Pandora and iPhone 6s Plus and IOS vs Android Phones

    Same problem here. Started after upgrading to iOS 10 (on an iPhone 6). Contacted Pandora about this new problem. They respond to me and say they are working on the issues with Mazda, but no estimated time frame. Here is the email address for Pandora support if you wish to add your 2 cents...

    Pandora Issue Fixed ??

    A 4.5 hour drive back home this afternoon/evening. Lost connection only once after 2.5 hours. Not perfect, but I can live with that. I communicated this info to Pandora. Be sure to do a 'clean install': Uninstall the Pandora App, completely shut off the phone!, restart the phone, then...

    Pandora Issue Fixed ??

    Per the suggestion of Sean at Pandora, try a 'clean install': Delete the Pandora app from your iPhone, then shut off the phone, restart the phone, then reinstall the Pandora app. Seems to work so far. Fingers crossed. (This is with the new 7.01 version of the Pandora app which 'fixes' this...

    Pandora Issue Fixed ??

    Did not fix it for me either. I emailed Pandora with that info (in my continuing correspondence with them on this problem).

    Pandora Issue Fixed ??

    I have been communicating with Pandora via email about this problem. They knew about it and asked me for more info. Good to hear it has been fixed. I am downloading IOS 9.3 as I write.

    Touring - how come Sirius XM is not available without Bose?

    Well, Sirius/XM does not come on the touring with Bose either! You have to get the GT. That being said, try Pandora. Create your own stations based on music you like. Really does not use up much cellular date. I do not miss XM at all!

    Power Outlet Question

    If you disassemble the car charger (usually one screw on side plus unscrewing the tip) you will see the LED with a small resistor in parallel to the main circuit . I just cut that out with a small pair of wire cutters, now the LED light lights no more.

    Why does it say BOSE and they SUCK so much?

    OK now, with all this talk let me open up a pandora's box and say that an automobile is a terrible listing environment no matter what the audio system is. 1st, there are so many reflecting surfaces, i.e. all that glass and 2nd, you do not sit in a 'sweet spot' but off to the side and way too...

    Pandora issues with iPhone 5s

    If Aha and Sketcher work perfectly, then that would suggest it is a problem with the Pandora app on the phone and/or the Pandora app in the Mazda. I think I will attempt to send this thread to the Pandora people and see if they can, if not solve it, narrow it down. It would be important data to...

    Pandora issues with iPhone 5s

    I have been having similar issues since I picked up the car, now 11 months ago! iPhone 6, latest iOS. Latest infotainment update on car. I believe this is more than one problem. 1st issue: The Mazda goes through it's boot up process, but the Pandora app gets hung up and will not boot...

    What do you put in the cubby above the hood release?

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/gavnk9n1li8t1dy/2016-01-30%2011.03.16.jpg?dl=0 I keep my emergency escape vehicles in there. One from the past and one from the future. Just add water to expand to full size. The dinosaur is hard to control and fuel for the ship's hyper drive (even if I knew what fuel...

    XM radio as an add on in 2016 CX-5 Touring with Bose

    OP here. After 10 months with my new CX-5 (boy, time flies) I have been using Pandora. I have created a number of stations way better than XM's. I have Verizon and live in New England and have had no problems with cell reception except in the Adirondacks for a bit. This includes a rode trip to...

    Spotify for 2015 Mazda 3i Touring

    It should work. Just choose bluetooth from the audio source menu. Then on your phone use the Spotify app.

    It's safe to leave the car charger plugged in right?

    If you disassemble up the car charger (usually one screw on side plus unscrewing the tip) you will see the LED with a small resistor in parallel to the main circuit . I just cut that out with a small pair of wire cutters, now the LED light lights no more.
