I listen to Pandora at home on the computer, but I'd have to use my data on the cell phone if I wanted to use it in the car. I use TracFone, so I have to pay for data.

Do any of you use Pandora in the car?

 

I use it on my daily commute, which is about 140 minutes round trip. I'm averaging about 700 MB to 1 GB per month. In the car I have it set to Pandora, and when I turn the car on, it launches Pandora automatically on my Moto X, then starts playing music.

 

I can buy 1.0 GB of data for $10, so that's not bad. And you use the Source button to switch inputs?

 

Yup the source button can cycle to the different modes. Bluetooth works too but you can't thumbs up/down or switch different Pandora stations if that matters to you. You can still skip though. If you can hit wifi where you park your car, give it a try

 

Pandora is absolutely one of my favorite things about my new Fit! I had a bunch of stations set up years ago when Pandora first launched but I stopped using it when they started running ads. But the integration with the 2015 HU is so good, I started paying the five buck subscription fee and just made a bunch of new stations. I love how it magically starts playing from where it left off a couple minutes after I start the car. It sounds great and I'm hearing all kinds of new music. I have an unlimited data plan so data's no problem. Fit + Pandora = WIN!

 

i use pandora-plus (use to be pandora one) in my cars and at home. actually i unsubscribed a month or so ago, but den realized i hate commercials and re-subscribed.

 

"too"? Don't you have to connect the phone via Bluetooth to play Pandora?

I'm having trouble getting Pandora to work on my phone. It wants to sign in to the wrong Google account.

 

I use Pandora at home, the free version, but, like you, I have pay as you go data (ting), so instead of using data on the road I load a 16GB thumb drive, preset a couple of FM stations (not much around here really), load a current CD, pair my Moto G4 BT so anything entertainment wise is covered. I only have about a 40 min RT commute, so don't need much.

 

I have at least one flash drive in a USB slot, so I have plenty of music. I like XM, but the radio loses the antenna signal randomly. Very annoying. It's a radio problem, not location.

 

There is a Bluetooth option icon that can play music. I use that for Google music or Amazon music and it can control Pandora too. Sorry for the confusion.

 

I have in the past but the sound quality compared to Spotify is pretty poor. Spotify works great in the car bluetooth or plugged in. Plugged in I still get all the song info and the steering wheel controls work.

 

So you plug in your phone to get Spotify. Where does it connect to the car?

 

pandora-plus has higher audio dan the free one. also, spotify must be okay for da younglings but boy do they suck for me. i have an account but it was just a horrible platform and experience. havent used it in a while. especially when my cars run pandora and iheartradio natively why bother.

 

I use Pandora Plus, and you can set higher quality audio.

I have tried iheartradio and Spotify in bluetooth source, but does not show the music titles. Headunit just shows "No Title".

 

You can just stream it with bluetooth or plug in via the USB port. I normally plug it in so that:

1. I charge my phone

2. No data compression of the as with bluetooth.

3. It shows artists and song titles.

Both ways can be controlled via the steering wheel or LCD.

 

For me the quality difference with Pandora even at the higher quality is bad. Also, I am not sure what you did not like about Spotify. It is pretty flexible.

Apple music is good, and has a tad better quality than spotify but for me a harder interface.

 

not to start a meaningless argument here, but ure still hearing music through the crappy head unit and speakers and Fit's loud cabin so not sure why ure so fixated with spotify's audio quality.

internet radio is about its platform and content, not so much about audio quality as most often dan not, people use BT to listen to it. i know aha sounds like shittt though.. when i listen to pandora in my cars i plug my iphone into da HU not so much for audio quality, but datz how CarPlay works for iphone..
