Streaming Pandora from Android Phone?

So I ran a search here, but didn't seem to find much information. I tried streaming Pandora in my 2015 M235i from my HTC Android phone, connected via USB, but couldn't get it to work.

I've downloaded the BMW Connected App as well as the Pandora App from the Play Store. Signed into Pandora, and can get it to play from the phone, but can't get it to stream to the car.

Is there something I'm missing? Is this a common problem?

I just use Bluetooth. The USB connected drive is terrible on android.

Even using Bluetooth, I still can't get Pandora to stream in the car.

What exactly is the process for doing this either by Bluetooth or USB?

OK so gonto external devices in media. Select your phone. Then on your phone start pandora. It should play through your speakers. One thing make sure in the connection set up that you have audio selected in the Bluetooth for your phone. When you plug in the USB it disables it in I drive.
