I have searched all the post on this forum and am still unsure. Is there anyway to control pandora on my droid eris via the HU? I can stream BT pandora, but can't see anything on the HU. All I want to do is get in the car with phone in my pocket, press the pandora button on my z130bt and listen to pandora using the HU. Any advice or ideas is greatly appreciated.

No, can't be done with droid. And it isn't just the HU that's the problem. There is no standard external interface over BT to launch and control apps. AVRCP 1.x only supports simple playback control (FF, Pause, Next Trk....etc) - And even that doesn't work on all droids. My advice - if you really what this ...get an iPhone.

 

The Pandora control built-in to the HU is only over the wired iPod/iPhone adapter using the 30 pin connector. So obviously, it is iPhone specific. I don't use it, but according to the manual, even that requires you to launch the Pandora app from the phone.
