Just got my 2023 XC60 Recharge a couple days ago. Wonder if anyone is experiencing these two issues:
- Pandora isn't one of the available apps to add. I search and it's not listed at all.
- I can't get my Android ZFold to pair with the car. Have tried many times over the past 2 days and the app always times out "due to inactivity"

Thanks for any pointers. I have emailed Volvo's support at international@volvocars.com too.

 

I just leased a 24 XC60 and was also baffled on why I can't get Pandora or Android Auto to work. Turns out the XC60 is running Android Automotive which is actually an OS (operating system) that is incompatible with Pandora and Android Auto. This is confusing as Volvo makes it sound like you can run Android Auto.
I find it annoying that Android named the two so similarly.

I ended upi loading Spotify although I prefer Pandora. Get Pandora through my bluetooth connection.
Hope you got your phone to pair. Dont have an answer for that one.

 

Yes I also gave up on Pandora and I'm using Spotify. I actually canceled my premium subscription to Pandora and am all in with Spotify now. Strange reason to switch music services but I wanted to have the app right on the main screen of the car. The Volvo app syncing with my Samsung Galaxy ZFold finally resolved itself but I don't know why. Maybe between software updates on the car, and also on the phone, it just worked itself out. Volvo support was not able to help me.

 

Every time I enter my 2023 Volvo XC60, it makes me disconnect & reconnect my android phone before it will play Pandora. I can't load Pandora from the Vehicle's Playstore because after talking at length with Volvo Cars USA, they told me they have DELETED Pandora from their list of apps. Why is it that we have to keep icon apps for Sirius XM radio & Apple Car Play on the main menu screen but can't download Pandora? Whose care is this, mine or Volvo's?

 

Since the 3.0.3 software upgrade, I can't get Pandora to work via bluetooth on my XC60. I got in touch with the dealer but they wer absolutely no help & pretty much brushe me off. I even contact Volvo Cars USA & spend over an over chatting with them. It seems you can't even download Pandora from the Playstore on the vehicle itself because the advisor with Volvo Cars USA said they removed Pandora from the list. I have Sirius XM radio & Apple Car Play on my main screen & can't delete them. Whose vehicle is this? I am paying for this vehicle & I want to be able to load Pandora on the main menu or bluetooth it in & I can't do that. I want to delete the icons/apps Sirius XM & Apple CarPlay from the main menu but I can't do that either.

Long story short, Volvo Cars USA said they have no way of fixing my issue with not being able to play Pandora via bluetooth in the XC60 but yet it wasn't an issue until the upgrade of the software to 3.0.3.

Anyone else having these issues & anyone else been able to figure this out?
