Pandora

[Burt]

purchased a new 2013 Lacrosse in March having trouble with Pandora. When I start Pandora everything starts good but after 1 or 2 songs the car says it has lost connection and everything freezes up including the phone. If I shut Pandora down and re start the phone after 1 or 2 songs it does the same thing again. This has got so frustrating that I don't even try to use it any more. Has anyone else had this problem, I so like Pandora just wish I could use it in the car. Please help!!

Burt,

I have a 2013 Lacrosse w/o Nav. I use Pandora a fair amount with good results. What model phone are you using and how are you connecting? I switch back and forth between a Samsung Galaxy S3 connected via Bluetooth and a iPhone 4S connected via USB cable.

Hi Burt,

I have a 2013 as well and enjoy Pandora. In addition to what 2013Buick said, another thing to look into is your cell phone signal strength. If it's weak, Pandora won't work well. I have Sprint, and there seem to be lots of areas around Dallas/Ft. Worth with insufficient signal strength to support Pandora.

Sorry a little old, but perhaps this might help. I used to have the same trouble, until I figured out that my Samsung Galaxy II was grabbing its data over WIFI. When I figured it out, every time I wanted to use Pandora, I turned ON Bluetooth, and turned OFF WIFI, thus switching over to my 4G data, which is fine with me, since I have T-Mobile, and they allow free streaming of Pandora (and lots of other music-streaming sights) for free...not counting against your monthly data usage.

Thank you for your childish and rather rude private message, and then being so adolescent to block me from replying. That is something a fifteen year old girl would do on her Facebook page. You are not a man, but a sniveling little, cowardly, weasel. You are one sick puppy, and a shame to your fellow Buick owners. I would copy and paste it here, however I would not stoop so low as to reprint that in open forum. If the members only knew.

Sorry Buick folks. Any more private message from this sicko, Regal-O_Rama, will be ignored. I don't block people like a giggling teen.
