When I open it on my phone I can see the calendar on my screen but no Pandora . I'm reading you need a special cable (please correct me if I'm wrong). Which would I need for my Android.

 

I have an iphone and it works when I connect it to the charging cable

 

That's the thing I've tried that and it didn't work : /

 

No expert, but we would need to know what year/car/level of audio system. My F56 basic HK radio is far different than our F55 fully loaded stereo in how to access phone apps.

 

Mine works fine with a standard lightning cable.

 

No special cable needed if you have a newer MINI - just the Apple USB cable should work fine. If you're using a non-OEM cable, that may be the problem. MINIs are very finicky with 3rd party cables.

 

We need more info
Year/Model/Radio Package and which iPhone

If not, then you’re going to get all the newer cars stating “just the iPhone lightning charge cable is needed”

Either you have a pre 2015 model without the Mini Connect or you are asking about Connecting via Bluetooth or the USB/3.5mm Jack to lightning cable or 30 pin

 

Just to be clear folks, OP stated Android, not iPhone.

 

I did not see that before...

In that case, I don't believe MINI Connected for Android supports Pandora or anything else besides calendar. BT Audio or AUX are your only options.
