I realize there is a sultry dance between what Android allows Macrodroid to do and what it's not allowed to do, but I can't decide if that's the case or my own inadequacy.
All I'm trying to do is trigger on the phone connecting to my car stereo, open Pandora, and start playing while the phone remains in my pocket. I have the first two steps down with no problem. But it seems there is no way to reliably start playing Pandora. I've tried:
Thank you!

- Control Media-->Simulate Media Button-->Play-->Foreground App
- Result = Nothing
- Note: Pandora is not in the package list, so "Foreground App" is my only option
- Control Media-->Simulate Audio Button-->Play
- Result = Plays whatever app that last played.. If that was Pandora, good. If it was the built-in music app, the music app starts playing with Pandora in the foreground.
- Control Media-->Default Player-->Play
- Result = Always plays the built-in music app, even if Pandora is in the foreground or was last app played.
- UI Interaction-->Click-->Identify in App-->Pandora "play" button
- Result = Nothing
- UI Interaction-->Click-->X,Y Location-->Pandora "play" button
- Result = Nothing (won't work when screen is off anyway, per the action info)
Thank you!
