transistor Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Has anyone been able to control the pandora and aha radio apps through bluetooth? For some reason, my iphone won't connect when I try to use those apps on the head unit. I have the app setting set to bluetooth instead of wired. If I load the pandora or aha radio app on my iphone, I can play music by clicking on the "bluetooth audio" button on my headunit. But I besides changing tracks, I can't control the iphone apps from my head unit like I could if I was using embedded apps on the head unit. If I change the app setting to wired and connect my iphone with the wire, the embedded head unit apps work perfectly. I can control everything from the head unit. That's what I'm trying to do with bluetooth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bumpaneer Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Everything I've read suggests that the bluetooth mode only works with Android devices. The iPhone seems to be missing the necessary bluetooth profile to allow the control you're looking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IdentityWithheld Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 What else is there to control besides play, pause, & skip? I can do all the above from either the phone or the HU via bluetooth, and physically disconnected. I don't get album covers on the HU though. I dont think this is possible anyway.

Bumpaneer Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 With the AppRadio app you can control more from your headunit on the 140. And with Mike's extensions, you can control even more http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/34188-appradio-extensions-20-beta-full-iphone-control/ Pretty much your headunit can become a display for your iPhone. From what I've found this only works when your phone is wired in though, not over bluetooth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SubyJeff Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Using Smartphone Applications, chapter 25 page 132 of the manual which is available online says USB interface cable for iPod CD-IU51V is required to connect your iPhone to this navigation system page 133 explains: For iphone users: 1 display the AV system settings screen 2 touch App Connection and set to "wired" ,etc etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chrisj Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yes Bluetooth app mode is "only for android" as the manual states (Page 133, left hand side, step 3). The Bluetooth profiles required are A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), and SPP (serial Port Profile). The iPhone is missing the SPP Bluetooth profile that allows it to transfer album art, song title, etc. over Bluetooth. (which is why I laugh when people call it advanced or innovative).
