How do I stop Pandora from a Kia and use it in a different car instead?
Answer
Pandora follows the phone account more than the car. Sign out or remove Pandora from the Kia's infotainment or CarPlay/Android Auto session, then open the same Pandora account from the phone while connected to the Honda.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Adjust car infotainment and pairing settings only while the vehicle is parked.
Follow these steps
Disconnect Pandora from the Kia session
In the Kia, sign out of Pandora if it is a built-in app, or disconnect the phone's CarPlay/Android Auto session and forget the phone from Bluetooth if you will no longer use that phone in the Kia.
You should see: Pandora no longer starts automatically from the Kia profile you were using.
Open Pandora on the phone first
On the phone, open the Pandora app, confirm you are signed into the correct account, and start or select the station you want before connecting to the Honda.
You should see: Pandora is active and signed in on the phone independently of the Kia.
Connect the phone to the Honda
Pair the phone to the Honda with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or Bluetooth according to the car's supported method. Then open Pandora from the car screen or continue audio from the phone.
You should see: Pandora plays through the Honda audio system from the same account.
Confirm stations and auto-start behavior
Check that your stations appear in the Honda session and that the Kia no longer auto-launches Pandora when another phone connects.
You should see: Pandora works in the Honda, and the Kia no longer stays tied to that listening session.

Extra tips
What to look for: Whether Pandora appears through CarPlay/Android Auto or as a built-in Kia app, which phone is paired to the Kia, and whether the Honda supports the same phone projection method.
Before you change anything: Know whether the Kia is using Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or a built-in Pandora app. Have the Pandora login available on the phone you will use in the Honda. Park safely before changing car infotainment settings. Do not share account passwords with anyone offering remote help unexpectedly.
