Does anyone using Pandora and it keep giving you an error trying to connect?
Hi,
I have 2017 Lexus IS 350 F-Sports with Mark Levinson.
I use Android phone and 5 out of 10 my Pandora from infotainment system would not connect even my Lexus Enform App Suite is connected and running on my phone.
Does anyone have same issue like this?
Thanks,
Danny

Lexus Enform App sucks..
it will only connect via Bluetooth, even though it says it works wired, many have had issues with it disconnecting on all models.
just use the Pandora app on your device and connect via BT or wired using the BT or Aux channels in the car. don't use Enform.. Personally I think for a company like Lexus "Enform" and "Entune" (the Toyota counterpart) are an embarrassment to the brand.

If you want the Lexus App Suite version of Pandora to work, you might have to periodically go log into the app again on your phone (i.e., enter your username and password). Sometimes I get logged out, and the car says "An active application must be running on your device". Happens with the remote as well - every month or so you'll get auto-logged-out,

You'll want to make sure the firmware on your nav system is up to date. I had this issue on my IS until the dealer updated my firmware, then it worked flawlessly. On my GS I never have any issue.
It's been months if not years since I've had to do that. I never have to log in. I wonder if you have an iOS setting in there somewhere that's causing this.

go here, choose multimedia system updates, select your year and model, and follow the instructions. . you will need a flash drive 2gb or smaller for it work correctly larger than 2gb might work but I've had issues with several brands,

That's crazy. I wonder why. It's been so long since I've had to log in I'm not even sure what my password is anymore.

Yes, it's a well know issue for many Lexus and Toyota models on both IOS and Android. Lexus/Toyota know how to build cars, but the Enform system...not so much.
Why they haven't switched to Apple Carplay and Android Auto is beyond me!!!
I've been to the dealer three times and they have know idea how to fix it (exact words). Which to me means it's a software/App issue. I wonder if I go back a third time if I can claim the lemon law and get a new car
