Problem using Pandora on iPhone

Definitive · 11-18-2008, 03:27 PM

I have a question about using Pandora in the car...

I have a 3G iPhone and when I plug it into the car it automatically starts playing the ipod, even if I have pandora running. I then open the phone and open pandora again, and press play. It then fades to pandoras music, and then fades back to the ipod song that was playing. It seems to do this 3 or 4 times till I can get it to stay on pandora.

Has anyone else had this problem? Whats the trick to getting pandora to just play when you plug in the phone?

Also, I have idrive with integrated ipod.

While using pandora, i simply use the AUX audio connection and not the USB portion of the cable. This way it is a basic audio out from the IPOD, and the car can no longer "take control" of the IPOD.

hmmm... I have two issues with that. First is that I go back and forth to my iPod and iPhone and dlont wantto unplug and plug stff in everytime..

Second is that the phone doesn't charge then...

What's weird is that I can get it to work after a few trys and it's great, buy it's frustrating. There's got to be a trick to this...
