tommy7189 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Just got my z120bt installed yesterday in my car and i notice i dont have the pandora button on the left with the rest of the av sources? and also im able to connect my phone over BT to make phone calls and such, it will only play music if i hit the Bt audio button and it will say connecting to my phone but if i hit play it will play the music from my phone but doesnt show titles or any of the playlists. Is this all because of my jailbreaking my phone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For an iPhone, you get full control, playlists, album art, ID3 tags, etc, but you need the adapter cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, second, you have to have the PandoraLink app installed on your iPhone before you can see any icon pop up as an optional source. If you already have PandoraLink installed, check to make sure you have the correct cable (CD-IU50v or CD-IU51v). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You simply need to connect the iPhone to the head unit with the cable adapter. You won't see the Pandora icon until the phone is connected. I have an iPhone 4 and use the plain ole Pandora app EVERYDAY on my Z120. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can listen to Pandora thru the HU with just the regular app, but PandoraLink provides full control of your Pandora account, and provides the album art, the thumbs up/down option, etc. The only thing you should need from the original Pandora app is to add/delete stations from your account. Keep in mind, the PandoraLink app does not work without having the Pandora app installed, but the Pandora app can function without the PandoraLink app installed.

See this thread: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/28311-ios4-issues-with-the-avic/page__p__224219__hl__pandora__fromsearch__1#entry224219 I once thought you HAD to use the PandoraLink app, but was frustrated with the lack of multitasking. When I inquired, someone pointed out it was no longer needed. I deleted the PandoraLink app from my phone and started running the "vanilla flavored" Pandora app. I have complete control over the Pandora app. I FREQUENTLY thumb up/down songs and bookmark songs. I recently upgraded to a PandoraOne account and I've now got more skips and no commercials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
