    Hello.

    Has anyone tried the pandora plus service with entune?
    Is supposed to have unlimited skips. It works fine on an iPhone 6. But when connected to entunes. It acts like the free version limiting the skips. But no advertising.

    I'm not familiar with Pandora Plus but I have Pandora One. Unlimited skips and it works fine with the current software version of Entune. On the previous version of Entune it was flaky.

    I believe is the same thing. Pandora one users are supposed to be migrated into pandora plus.
    Just to give an idea. I have unlinked and relinked pandora and Bluetooth. Also reinstalled entune on the phone and still get the skip limit.
    I know there are some songs that won't skip on the phone because of licensing issues. But other than that. No issues when using pandora just on the phone. But as soon as it connects to entune. The limits are back.

    Never understood why people pay for Pandora when Spotify will do the same thing AND let you pick your own playlists and listen to albums etc.

    Ok. I figured it out.. after calling toyota's entune support and them telling me that pandora one or pandora plus is not supported. Only the free version.

    What I did. Run the actual pandora app on the phone and on the HU select Bluetooth as the audio source.. and taddaa.. it works. No skip limit no commercials. The HU display won't show the button to skip or go fwd.. but you can use the button.

    And BrokenLimits. Is a matter of preference. I've tried Spotify a couple of times.. and prefer pandora.

    I mean I guess but did you realize you can have Spotify make a radio station and pick songs for you just like Pandora? It seems like you are saying, "I realize it does everything Pandora does and can also do something much better - allow me to play any song I want ever and create my own playlists too all for the same price but I prefer to be limited."

    Not entirely sure how $5/month is the same price as $10/month for the ad-free version, but hey go with what you like.

    My wife is not a techie and likes to have music/ambiance. Turning on either of the TVs and pressing the Pandora button on the remote works easily and she's happy.
