Pandora to be discontinued in Australia

[CyanPixie]

Well, that is now it for Pandora. Got in the car to come to work - plugged the phone in and got a license error. I have now changed my cable from the USB port to a cigarette lighter USB charger. Will have to stream using Bluetooth now and forget that port is even there, until they do something with how the software works. iPod facility or Stitcher are not used by me, so the USB port just confuses everything.

Loaded a VPN onto the iPhone, (Betternet), and I'm still listening to Pandora in the VF11.

Yep used VPN today and Pandora works fine... but of course not data-free on Optus anymore.

Most people won't bother though I imagine. For the most part it's gone for people.

i contacted Holden today to ask whats the go with Pandora and i got this reply.

Thanks for getting back to us, Whilst we're not able to provide a software update to restore another music app for your MyLink System, you're able to continue streaming music via Bluetooth. To help with this we’ve teamed up with Spotify to provide you with a 60 day free trial of Spotify Premium. You’ll be able to create your own playlists, follow your favourite artists and make sure you’re covered for road trip tunes! Please follow this link to set up your 60 day trial (please note you’ll need to be a new Spotify user/ set up a new account).

I hate spotify so many ads. Pandora never had this many ads.

For spotify, create a family account. Its 18 bucks a month. Invite 5 family "members" it can be absolutely anyone to join your "family" Get everyone to set up automatic bank transfer of 3 bucks every month and all is well. $3 bucks a month for spotify premium is stupidly good value of you ask me.

Either way your spending money when you werent with pandora.

minor price to pay for the features which spotify offers in my books

To be honest I just got my SSV redline on Tuesday and I'm so disappointed in the mylink. I personally love Spotify but the no app integration on the head unit really annoys me. The lag in Bluetooth connectivity is another problem as well yes it's only a few seconds maybe 10-15 but your already driving and trying to connect waiting for it. Other than that love it. Still way quieter than my ss even with BME open but I'm working on that as well.
