Pandora over BT Stereo. Functions, but no audio.

Ri22o · 06-10-2009, 06:22 AM

I am trying to listen to Pandora through the Bluetooth Audio connection in my truck. I am using a Pioneer Avic-D3 headunit with their Bluetooth adapter. Everything to do with phone calls works fine. With the Bluetooth Audio I can get the headunit to control the Pre as far as pause, stop, etc, but there's just no audio. Would this be an issue with the Pre or the Pioneer? Any suggestions?

I haven't tried Pandora yet but I did play a Movie through BT and Fm into my Van with the Moto T505 so I know it does work . I will have to give pandora a try today.

I'll mess with it a little more tonight, but let me know if yours works and what you come up with.

Went out today Turned on the T505 started Pandora and tuned in 90.5 and wam no problem at all. If I cut the Fm Trans off it plays through the T505 directly as well with no problem.

I too had problems with Pandora on my Motorola S9 HD blooth headset. But then, they magically started working when I discovered there is a play/pause button on the headset and it actually controls Pandora on the Pre! I am posting this in case somebody else is reading this thread and is having a problem. It was frustrating to see the songs show that they were playing, and actually come through the speaker and then go silent when the bluetooth was engaged. Then, voila, I the little play button and pushed it and now I can't get enough..... but what a battery sucker, man. It actually heats up the battery if you do an hour of bluetooth Pandora on that thing.

I haven't had any issues streaming Pandora thru my Panasonic headunit in my car. Once it is connected I can easily utilize Pandora, having it play through my car's speakers. I have not tried to change tracks with through my headunit, which is possible on my Blackberry. I will check that out later and report back.

You're not able to, at least not yet. Hopefully it will come in a future update.

I have no such problem. Using Ford Sync I can stream Pandora over BT and use the steering wheel controls to skip tracks. For the record I have updated to the latest Sync firmware ver.

I tried it again earlier, hoping the update would have fixed it, but it acts just the same as before.

For the mean time I am using a male - male adapter to plug the 3.5 jack into the Aux jack on the front.
