Today i started getting a notification on phone when it connects to trucks sync and pandora opens
i get the smart device link pop up and then pandora starts loosing its mind
is this a new android thing? i also afterwards deleted pandora and reloaded it. but it will give me a fault about 1 minuted into the playing of song and locks up, then source goes to phone vice pandora and song resumes, then a few minutes go by and pandora logs off and i loose pandora via phone connection

Not that I know why, but is it an Android or IPhone? What phone do you have?

Boater, I know you're android, are you using a Samsung as well? I haven't seen this on my Samy S22.

Android Auto updated this morning, but you are talking about simple Bluetooth/app streaming.

In the screen shot I see servicelink.com and SDL I can't find any app that matches that, checked apk pure, Samsung, and playstore, servicelink.com brings you to service master the cleaning restoration company what the heck is that?

Found it, not sure what this is. This is why I suck at Jeopardy!

I had the SDL app popping up on my phone a little while ago (a month or two). I haven't noticed it recently and it never coincided with AA issues.

I did see that AA updated the other day for me, much less buggy. Also, Waze can now go fullscreen like google maps.

I'm still rocking an old Samsung S9+, for what its worth.

Does SDL show up on your S9+ under apps? I also have an S9+ And dosen't appear in installed apps.

No, it is nowhere to be found. When I first saw it, it scared me a little, but once I saw that it is most likely part of how AA connects (that's my understanding anyways), I didn't worry about it. Next time a take a drive, I will try and remember to check if it shows up.

I did the AA update this morning. I had to remove and add my phone to the truck and remove the truck from my phone. It connected, but I lost full screen maps. I was on my way to work and my screen went black for about 15 to 20 seconds and it had rebooted. Still had small screen maps. After work I tried it again and, so far, all is good. Fingers' crossed. I have a LG Velvet.

I just loaded Pandora on my phone nothing from SDL loaded on the phone. I haven't tested in the truck yet. But it would appear that Pandora uses SDL's technology within there app for streaming purposes most likely there is a bad call in the Pandora app which is launching this screen. I would guess an update to the Pandora app will eventually correct the issue
