Android Auto and iHeartRadio Streaming Issue

[jmiller284]

2017 Pilot running Android Auto and using Google Pixel 2 XL with Android 9 Pie. Been noticing issues with the audio from iHeartRadio cutting out / stopping and having to restart it. Running iHeartRadio from just Bluetooth seems to be okay. The issue seems to be with Android Auto. Anyone else experiencing this ? Just for kicks I hooked up an older iPhone and ran iHeartRadio using Apple CarPlay and had no issues. Not sure if it's the Pixel phone or Android Auto.

I have the same types of issues. App in AA mode will not use BT fir audio many times. Switch to another audio app, and they work fine with BT. Switch back to IHR and no BT...just phone audio. This has been happening for the past month or so.
