Default Pandora...WTF?!

Hi all. I went on a ride a couple weeks ago and played Pandora off my cell phone through bluetooth on my '17 Ultra Ltd. It worked fine all day. Last weekend I went on another ride, and my Pandora kept pausing every 10 seconds or so. I don't know why it worked fine before, and now I'm having these issues. I tried it here in my driveway and it still pauses whether it's on WI fi or LTE. It doesn't seem to matter. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Pandora app on my phone. And I unpaired and paired my phone to the bike again. I tested using YouTube through bluetooth and it worked fine, no problems at all. And yes, I tested Pandora in my car and it works fine. So it's just an issue with my Harley radio. I don't get it...wtf? Any suggestions? Thanks

I use pandora all of the time. It has been a bit sketchy the last couple weeks for some reason.

I have only run into that issue when I am close, but not close enough to wi-fi connection... Usually kicks in when I get out of range. It is weird that Pandora works in the car, and that the bike will BT Youtube, but not Pandora. I am curious to see if anyone else has had this problem.

I downloaded Jango Music app and have had no issues at all. Must be a Pandora/Harley thing. And Jango has no commercials! 👍

I gave up on pandora a while back. I use Amazon music the free version with prime membership. You can download the songs to play offline.

I too gave up on the Pandora. Spotify is my new best friend. Once you make a playlist and download it your internet conection is not an issue. Works great and still have handlebar controls.
