Recently, commercials have been playing intermittently when I listen to Pandora through the Enform app. This only started within the past week or so, and up until that point - I've never heard a single commercial since I bought my car in July. It was my understanding that with the Enform subscription (free for 1 year), Pandora would be commercial-free. Just wondering if anyone else has anyone else experienced this? It typically only happens when I skip songs...

That's odd, they told me that you won't get any commercials if you use Pandora through Lexus Enform. What they told me was they actually pay for the Pandora so you don't have the commercials. Maybe they stopped doing that. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what the dealership told me.

Pandora issued a statement earlier this month that they were no longer going to allow the automotive applications to be commercial free without a paid Pandora subscription. It is now $36 a year to avoid the commercials. This goes for Lexus and all other manufacturers.

Btw, Enform is free. No subscription needed.

The advertisements stopped immediately last Saturday after I subscribed to Pandora One at the $36 annual rate. I use Pandora from in-dash audio systems in multiple cars, on a "smart TV", a tablet PC and directly from my phone. One subscription eliminates commercials on all devices for less than a dime a day.

Can anyone help how to set up pandora with enform? It tells me I need to log in, but I can't find the screen where it would let me. Once the error messages comes in, it kicks me out of that pandora screen.

You need to link your Pandora account with Enform by going to this site and create Enform login.

Yeah, same thing happened to me, I was a bit confused at first, but went ahead and spent the $35 for the year subscription. I listen to Pandora enough that it's worth it.

I'm kind a dealing with this now. With 3g going away, my son's 2017 RX350 won't have access to remove start anymore. Since his vehicle is sometimes outside the garage, it was useful to be able to start it up early remotely to allow it to warm up and defrost. Cost $170 for a work around.

Not a fan of these types of this business practice.

Did you reply to the wrong thread? Pandora has been discontinued as a Lexus app for a few years now. You'd have to use it through Bluetooth or Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

There are $150 modules that can allow remote start without a subscription fee retaining OEM Lexus key fob operation
