Used to work perfectly; now it just stalls out on the NAV's "logging in..." message screen. Then it tells me to reconnect via the UConnect Access app on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.3). All other Bluetooth communications function correctly.

Any other iPhone 6 users experiencing any problems with Pandora via Mobile?

Did you check the upgrade through UConnect? There was an upgrade for that I believe.

Did you just update the iOS?

Thought about that, but this failure didn't coincide exactly with the latest iOS update.

But the car was working okay and now it's not. Get someone else's Android and a Apple that has the older iOS. This is a big issue and 99% of the time it's the phone when it used to work fine.

This occurs with me as well (iPhone 6); I use either Pandora or iHeartRadio at times; and sometimes it connects correctly and sometimes UConnect asks me to open the phone app (which does not help anyway). I have a new Charger which I do not think needs a UConnect update - and I believe my iOS is the latest. But I haven't had time to experiment to sort it out yet...

 

[Carnage]

Yeah I would try another phone or upgrade the UConnect software

 

[RoyG]

Just double checked UConnect site; no update available for my VIN.

I love my iPhone 6+ the size is great for my old eyes (I know there are similar non-Apple phones but switching all my stuff around just for this one issue really is not worth it to me; I can still just use Pandora via Bluetooth)...But the discussion is worth posting in case someone finds a real solution (not a "workaround").

I really think it's a UConnect issue. I think there are still some bugs to work out. I have issues with iPhone 5 also.

 

[rw99]

The UConnect Access app for iOS is a recent update, and I think maybe it's half-baked. The Help menu, for instance, includes directions for using "Send Locations to Vehicle"... one of the new features we don't have yet.

Yeah, many times when Apple does an update, it requires tweaks to the app. Annoys the heck out of me because we have the same issue at our office each time Apple does something our app doesn't work right till we tweak it too. Like all those techie terms? Lol

I just unpaired and re-paired my iPhone Bluetooth connection with Uconnect and now all is working well. (I have run a few errands today and each time I started, Pandora seemed to connect just fine). I don't know how long it will last, but fixed for now...

But - man-oh-man, does it take a long time for the Apps page to load! (OK, it is probably under 2 minutes, but these days that is a long time). I am sure they used great computer tech for the engine, but I think they found some old 80286 processors and some 4 MB ram chips to power the head unit... (OK - anyone remember when it was exciting that you could install this new thing called a "hard drive" into their TRaSh 80)?

 

[rw99]

I reinstalled the UConnect Access app, re-entered my Pandora account info, and now it works. I imagine this sort of problem will be the norm, unfortunately, as infotainment makers, smartphone manufacturers, and app programmers will always be out of sync.

Roy, I see your "hard drive", and raise you a Bernoulli Box

Hard drives were for rich guys. On my TRS-80 I had to soldier along with the factory supplied cassette drive. Plus my screen was in glorious monochrome.

 

[rw99]

BTW, my fix lasted about a day. Same problem :-/

 

[HotzoneAZ]

Have you tried closing the pandora app on the phone and reopening? I close it down when I leave the car and have no issues (iPhone 6+) Also only leave the apps I really use often listed as favorites ready to open. Like theWiFi I leave off not to drag the system. Pretty cool stuff. .....BTW, did I tell you lately that I love my Hellcat!!

It was a gift from my father in law (who is an electrical engineer and knew more about computers at the time) - he was middle class enough to lay out the cash (my wife and I were destitute medical students back then). I think we mostly used if for (get ready for it) Wordstar! Files saved onto a 5 1/4" floppy. (before we got the HDD). I really wish I saved that machine just for posterity.

Don't even get me started on my college days of walking to NYU carrying my stacks of punch cards to use the mainframe to run statistics programs. Or creating programs on punch tapes in another job. And yes - in Jr. High school, I had a friend who's brother worked at University of Pennsylvania and we used to visit to play Star Trek - on a teletype.

Shoot - did we get off topic? We risk incurring the Wrath of Tammi!!

Don't get me started!!! My first computers tinkering with them were 80286 8MHz, 386SX, 386DX, 386DX2 16 MHz (bought a math co-processor, then installed it and thought I was a baws), 486SX, 486DX/DX2 and 66MHz, 586 then Pentium Pro 200MHz (man I thought I had the ultimate dream machine.) Also had an IBM PS1, learned DOS 2.0 - 6.22 every single switch and parameter commands. I even succeeded in makin Doom game work over null modem cable direct connection between a 386 and 486 PC and I was only 11 years old and omg what nostalgic memories!! My very first multiplayer local "LAN" party lol Tammie stop me from going off topic aaaasaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Never! Makes me feel better about myself! Lol

Worst case tammie, unlink the apps, delete the app on your iPhone, reinstall it, relink the apps, probably will work after that.
