You see, I tried to run slacker radio via the pandora option on my X920BT. The music plays, but I get no on screen (which I knew I wasnt going to get) but I was hoping the track up and down button either on my X920 or steering wheel controls would work for slacker. They did not.

I then played slacker radio via the IPOD option on my X920Bt and slacker radio played fine. No onscreen controls of course, but I was more interested to see if track up or down would skips songs on slacker. The controls did not work.

Then I tried music controls (program on cydia) to see if allowed track up or down on the navi screen (or steering wheel controls) to skips songs on Slacker radio. That did not work either. Although, that program does seem to offer SOME ipod like controls for slacker. For example, I think it said you could use your apple head phone (with mic and skip up and back rocker toggle) to change songs on slacker. So I contacted the developer of Music controls and he said that ipod intercepted controls might be possible in OS4.0!!! So if Im running my slacker via my iphone and have my deck in ipod mode, I should be able to AT least track up and down to skip songs!

Im sure some hacker will figure out a way to make a link for slacker radio to be able to accept ipod controls for use with slacker radio.

THe pandora link works fine for me, but there music is SO REPETITIVE! Lil wayne station on mine is playing 60's music! CCR and OLD rolling stone songs? WTF is that pandora? And thats why Im asking about slacker.

It will not work without an interface designed for the unit. And Pandora is likely the only interface your going to see for an iPhone app for some time.

That makes sense, but Im not really looking for a slacker radio interface. I just want the pandora interface to work with slacker radio. Actually... all I really want is the track up and back buttons to work. Either the ones on the radio, or the ones on my steering wheel. I dont even need the onscreen thumbs up and down. Just the track up or back on the radio or my steering wheel controls.

OR have the IPOD interface controls to work with slacker. And again, just track up or back.

That doesnt seem like something a whole new interface needs to be designed for?? Perhaps I should take this thought/request up with the jailbreak community to see whats else might be out there. It seems "music controls" for the iphone jailbreak community is looking into this for OS4, so it would seem I'm not alone.

Anyways... cheers and thanks!

Thats exactly what it will require. There is no app, jailbreak or not that is going to change that. There will have to be an interface from the unit to the app on the phone for it to work.

If you've contacted the dev for the Music Control app, then he/she should be able to incorporate at least track up/down for the Slacker App.... If he/she can do it for Pandora via BT(not PL)...then he/she should be able to include the slacker app.... although you will have to be in IPod mode, I'm sure....<---have yet to get the new interface(z110BT)...

Also... I've had some random stations pop up on my Pandora..... I at first thought it was from a previous phone that I have sold.... in which I knew the person, and realized that even after a restore... it still retains my info, if/when they download the Pandora app...

I contacted Pandora about this...<--I personally think they may have been hacked, or my username/password had been compromised...

Hi DawgBone,

 

I'm very sorry to hear that.

 

Does anyone else have access to your computer, or have you ever signed in on a public or shared computer? A quirk about the Flash Player (which runs the Pandora music player in your browser) is that Flash Local Storage (where all of your Pandora log-in information is stored) keeps you signed into your account on that particular computer. So if you've ever used Pandora at another location, then you might have remained signed into your account there. Staying signed in can happen on devices as well. This could explain why stations have been added or deleted.

 

This makes it *essential* to sign out whenever you are done listening to Pandora on a shared or potentially shared computer or device. We have emphasized this point in our FAQ, for instance in:

http://blog.pandora.com/faq/contents/61.html

 

I've reset the password on the account to: $$$$$$$$$

 

If someone else is accessing your account on a computer, resetting your password will kick them out of your account. With devices, however, this may not work. An association is made between your account and the device based on the Device ID. So if you have sold an older device and were not signed out of Pandora, the next user may automatically be signed in to your account. Since the association is based on the device ID, changing the password does not work to remove them. This could also happen if you signed into your account on a friend or a family member's device and forgot to sign out.

 

I've gone ahead and removed all 6 iphone device associations from your account (!) This will include the one you currently have, which means you will need to sign in the next time you open the app. If someone else has been using your account on another device, they will be forced out of your account as well. Since they do not have your password, they will not be able to sign into your account.

 

Moving forward, I suggest that you sign into Pandora on your computer and change your password to something entirely new (and hard to guess).

Go to http://www.pandora.com and sign in, then click on the word "account" in the upper right hand corner of the page. From there, you can change all your registration information (including your password).

Make sure to hit 'Save' when you're done.

 

If you are signed into someone else's device (or if you are selling an older one) then make sure to sign out of your Pandora account once you are done.

 

Hope this helps. Thanks for listening!

Thank you Pandora.....

Hopefully that'll solve the issue... I did eventually figure out how to change the password, by going through the "player's" page and not the Profile page...

Unfortunately, I have never signed into Pandora from any shared machine or device. Actually, I have never used a shared PC(internet café or whatever they're called)... I did however sell a previous IPhone, in which I did a restore on before handing it over. I know the person, and when she installed Pandora, we then realized that a restore does not erase my Pandora credentials.... We have since, sign me out of the phone and created her own account... The bad thing here is that, 1)that was over a year ago.... and 2)I know her, and she does not listen to the rap stations that has been popping up on my account...

 

Hopefully, deleting all the associated devices and changing my password will fix the problem...

 

Thanks again for your help...

Pandora link for blackberry tour? Love the X-920BT but would like it better if I could use the Pandora app Any help

Does the BB have any type of control of the device from the USB like the iPhone does? If not there wont be any Pandora Link for the BB.

Overall, Im not happy with Pandora. It seems like they play the same songs over and over and over again no matter how many channels you have. It also throws some odd songs into custom channels. For example, I have a Lil Wayne station and its playing Clearance clearwater whatever the hell they are called. As well as some rolling stone songs...

I am sure glad that when i am listening to my CCR( Creedence Clearwater Revival) station Lil Wayne dose not come on..... that might make me stop using Pandora and move on to slacker.

On the plus side ramman your getting to hear music from a time when music was good!

Pandora is trying to tell you what good music is. Isn't that what most people download it for anyway... to discover great music?

I just installed my x920bt yesterday and I've tried the PandoraLink app several times since then and it doesn't seem to load. It stays on the screen on the iPhone that has Pioneer on the top, some arrows in the middle, and "accessory" on the bottom. The unit's screen has the buttons showing, but they're darkened so you can't click them. Anyone know what's up or this just a common thing for it to "break in?'

I'm having the same issues as the last post mentions. I have tried opening pandora link first as some have suggested and it still isnt working? Do i need to open up the NORMAL pandora app, and THEN the pandora link? I'm confused and usually good at this type of stuff. I have the X920BT as well and an iphone 4. I contact Pioneer and their response doesnt work for me:

Their response (question is below): Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.

The Pandora app does support the Apple OS4. Once the app has been downloaded from i-Tunes you would launch the amp before it is connected to the unit. After it has been launched then connected the Nav should have no problems recognising that feature.

Thank You,

My question was this:

Inquiry:I just purchased the AVIC-X920BT and and iPhone 4. I am unable to get Pandora running on the AVIC-X920BT (i've installed the newest AVIC firmware) after numerous attempts and have been unsuccessful finding any info on the internet. Are these two units compatible? It seems like they were both released at the same time (pandora link and iphone 4) or is there an update that is necessary? I really want to use this feature, that is why i bought the X920BT but no matter what I try it shows "accessory" connected to Pioneer on my phone, but no channel info or audio shows on the unit. Please help and thank you.

This combo works fine I just set mine up last night.

1: Install default Pandora app and set up account, test for operation

2: Install PandoraLink application

Then with BOTH apps closed, open PandoraLink on the iphone 4, the app will open.

Connect iphone to X920BT with ipod dock cable

Enjoy pandora on the X920BT from your iphone 4 with iOS 4.x

I'm going to try again this evening. I'm wondering if the Bluetooth is in any way interfering since that is auto pairing before I connect the iPod cord. All the same thanks for the tip. Maybe I just have a defective unit but I swear I've tried this route.

JUST had my 920 installed professionally and everything works perfectly but have 2 questions for you guys:

1). Using an iPhone 3Gs with iOS4 and latest Pandora app. When connected through iPod cables (3.5mm & USB to iPhone connector), Pandora sound works beautifully but I do NOT get the album cover art or artist/track info to show on screen. Plays fine but i have to use the iPhone to see everything. Any thoughts??

2). I wasn't aware that with Sirius radio, they do not broadcast station logos nor a clean "stacked" info screen for artist name, album title, track name, etc. (Instead, Sirius displays content as a single line that scrolls horizontally through all of the info). As I look through my user manual, the screenshots look as though XM does push logos, stacked content, etc. Sure wish the guys at the dealer would've told me as I had a clean choice to make between the 2 services but chose Sirius. Any know of a way around this to get artwork to show or is there simply no way other than to switch to XM?

That is the only option.
