Pandora not working??

Does anyone else have trouble getting pandora to work on their car? I have the tech package and BMW Apps. When I open pandora on my iphone 5 with iOS 7, the Pandora/BMW image appears but doesn't play. Is there a way to open it up in bmw apps im messing up?

Also, almost universally, my album artwork is always stuck on the first song that plays, whether it's through iTunes Radio or Spotify (pandora never works anyway) - anyone else have this problem?

thanks for any help!

I want all of this to work through the iPhone cable, no crappy bluetooth streaming nonsense.

No problem here. Are you certain that your phone has a good network signal?

Yup perfect. When I stream any other source it works fine and disconnect the phone it will play pandora over the phone speaker! Ugh frustrating

Just checked again tonight and it looks like it will start playing the song for a few seconds and display the album art but then the BMW connect screen pops up and the song stops and I lose ability to control pandora on my phone and it just stays indefinitely paused on the iDrive.

Perhaps I need to delete bmw connect?

Still no luck with pandora. I deleted bmw connect and the image still pops up on the phone and the music stops 5 seconds into the song. Am I the only one having trouble? It seems like iTunes Radio is taking priority over all my other media too when I try to advance when listening to something else. Ugh!

After selecting pandora on your iPhone, go to I drive radio. Pandora show up there, not via the media i drive selection.

I'm running a 5s-- launch Pandora directly from the iphone (already connected to USB cable) then in iDrive Radio select the Pandora icon.
I have not had problems with album art, music cutting out etc.

Alright so you're saying I have to hit the radio button on the controller? I can't believe I haven't seen it before.

For me works 90% of the time, but sometimes the shortcut (1-8) buttons don't work. So I have to manually go through the menu, connected apps, hit Pandora.
