When this first happened, I thought this might have been the Sync 3 system, but after messing with it a bit, I think it was either an Android Auto or a Pandora problem. Let me explain:
I was headed to work on Saturday morning. I usually have my radio on a local FM station that I usually like. But I was in the mood for something different, so I switched to Pandora to stream something. The channel it pulled up wasn't what I was after, so I switched to another pandora station. Instead of switching stations, it began to play BOTH stations at the same time. I tried to switch to a 3rd pandora station, and again, it layered the 3rd station with the other two. Talk about chaos.
I was done with that noise, so I switched instead to USB where I keep a thumb drive with mp3 songs. Ahhh...relief.
Oh, but there's more.
After a spell, the USB would cut out and the multi-layered Pandora channels would cut in for a minute. And then the USB input would take over again. This happened a number of times on my drive in. But by the time I got there, it seemed to have settled down on the USB input.
Thought the truck was acting wacko at the time.
So on my way home from work, I figured I'd test this to see how things played out. I switched from the USB back to Pandora and switched stations a couple times. Seemed to be working fine, so I played music from Pandora all the way home. When I got home and got out of the truck, my PHONE started playing the last pandora station I was listening to in the truck all by itself in my pocket. I pulled my phone out to try to stop it. But the Pandora app didn't think it was playing anything. I couldn't stop the music. I ended up deleting the Pandora app to make it stop. I didn't try turning the phone off to see if that would fix it, but it may have worked. I reinstalled Pandora later.
This is what makes me think that the problem wasn't Sync 3 and that it was instead either Pandora or AA. Everything worked just fine on Sunday, so I dunno what the issue was.
