Pandora Question
What's the right sequence for hooking up via USB to listen to Pandora?
When I connect my iPhone via USB, Pandora doesn't show up as a Connected Drive app until I first start it on the phone. Once I do that, it shows up, and all is well. But I was trying to figure out if there is a way to avoid starting it on the phone first. Thanks. |

Correct. Simply connecting the iPhone via USB cable, you get full Apps functionality of Pandora, i.e. thumbs up/down, change station, etc., all via iDrive interface.

Switch to iPhone?
Okay, so I an Android 4. It connects flawlessly for bluetooth calls and contacts. However, as I have heard on this forum, iPhones are needed to use BMW Apps. So, if I go to the trouble of switching to an iPhone, is BMW apps up to date with iPhone 5's OS 6?
And can I see messages? If not, can anybody see emails messages? Which phone does it work with? |

Can you stream Pandora over bluetooth instead? If so, can you control it through iDrive, or only on the phone?

I use the phone to control Pandora. The only thing that may work is FF.
