The issue im having now with ios 5 and the x920bt, with before and after the cnsd 210fm update is this battle between what source is actually active.

Example:

You plug your iphone 4 with ios 5 in to the unit via the cable.

Automatically the source switches to "ipod" and music starts playing

You select via the audio source selection menu on the unit, Pandora for example

Notice says to start pandora up on your device , you start pandora on the device

pandora info will show up on the screen, music will play from pandora for an instant, then pause.

You have to move to ipod source to get pandora to un-pause, (no tapping pause on ipod source necessary you just have to be at this source)

Go back to pandora after 5 seconds and it will remain unpaused and play normal.

I found out if you continuously pause/un pause pandora it will eventually stay un paused.

This same issue happens with aha as well, but hitting the pause button continuously doesn't help.

I am happy it works but it is frustrating.

The main issue is, when you have the 3.0 update for the x920bt, do we get bug fix point updates? Where would it be available under the x920bt page or the x930bt page.

I am really hoping its just iphone app updates that need to fix this and its not the x920bt needing the update.

ios5 is near final and its doing this, sounds like it might be an issue with the unit not knowing how to interact/control the iphone because of changes in ios.

Anyone else have ios 5 having this issue?

I guess we will find out when aha, and pandora are updated for ios 5. Hopefully the issues are fixed, who knows if 3.0 x920bt will be updated to fix it if that is in fact the problem.

THis happened to me with iOS 5 beta and after the final release yesterday....the same thing is happening on my x930BT. I'm going to try the things you said this morning to get it to work. It would always pause for me. I'd tap play a few times then just give up. Hopefully your suggestions still work. I thought maybe it was due to the Jailbreak, but nice to see it's not. Hopefully Pandora comes out with an update.

I have an X920BT (have not upgraded its firmware) and an iPhone 3GS running iOS5 and I'm having tons of problems trying to play Pandora through the X920BT ever since I upgraded to iOS5. (Have been running the beta for a few months and upgraded to the final version yesterday.)

I'd go as far as saying that it is unusable until Pandora updates their app. I sure hope that there's an updated Pandora app for iOS5 that also happens to fix the Pioneer functionality because I really miss having the ability to listen to Pandora in my car.

it's happening w/ ipod.app sporadically as well. i guess it's BT streaming only for me for a while.

so the problem with iso5 is the BT streaming goes bad ?

or is it the hardwires into the ipod cable that is having trouble ?

Just to chime in, I'm having the same issue on my z130bt. Soooo irritating I like iOS 5 but the thing I use it for the most doesn't work anymore.... Wish I never updated. iOS 5 crashed my gfs iPhone too had to restore it from scratch. Pos os IMO

Thank god I hope they get something fast, I'll be taking an 1100 mile drive next month from ny to fl and it would really suck if I had to keep fidgeting with buttons and disconnecting/reconnecting my iPhone the whole way.

Ps, I'm reporting this to pandora with this thread included, maybe it'll help? Who knows, cant hurt.

Nice catch, thanks for posting that here. If nothing else, it's good to know that Pioneer is aware of the problem.

I'm having a few problems with my x920bt since going to ios5! No ipod music, I can see the display on the screen but I cant hear anything. No Pandora. It just stays paused. No video. The image shows on the screen and only plays for a milisecond and then pauses.

I sure hope they get this fixed! I am not very happy that this unit has a pretty crappy GPS (indicator not displayed on screen correctly) and now this. I'm loosing faith in Pioneer.

Pandora 3.1.15 hit the App Store today with some iOS 5 fixes and a note about "automotive accessories". I just downloaded it, will test things out on my drive home from work in 20 minutes.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pandora-radio/id284035177?mt=8

so i just downloaded the new pandora and now my headunit says there are no stations available. is there anyway to downgrade back to the old pandora? at least that was sorta working..

So agrivating! I just downloaded newest Pandora update also and now it doesn't work at all on my 920bt. This is the main reason I bought this unit is the iPhone Pandora app!

wow i sure am glad i rejected the Pandora app download when it prompted me to update

anyone else having problems with no music from your ipod when connected? I'm having this same problem with video as well!

Just got off the line with Pioneer support and they said it was tested there and is not a know issure. Is there a way to re-download the iOS5 to make sure it was downloaded correctly?

Thanks

I figured out a work around to the latest pandora update not working at all on my 920bt with iPhone ios5. Turn on head unit without iPhone connected to cable and select FM. Then turn on pandora on iPhone and push play to start a song then plug it into the iPhone cable and it should work.

for some reason, after a day of it not working, my pandora works perfectly now. i don't know if it had to do with me changing the av2 setting to video because that's how i got it to play through bluetooth at first. then the next day i plugged it back in and everything on my pandora works like its supposed to.

@JsBiff, Thanks for posting this - can you provide a link to the page where you found it?

A glimmer of hope, I have the x930BT/iphone 4/OS5.0 and new Pandora update running fine. So, it DOES work guys...

I have the x930bt & upgraded my pandora and it work PERFECT now if only pioneer cld release an upgrade so my iPod wld work. On pandora after my phone links I click the little "person" and all my lists came up just the way they're supposed to. If you're still having issues I wld delete the app & re-load. I'm on iphone4 w/ios5. Just have the issue of when I switch back to iPod pandora is still playing & I have to re-select my playlist & song (doesn't pick up where it left off) but that's a pioneer upgrade issue. When I click pandora again I'm right back to where Pandora left off

You can always use the Pandora by turning it on your iphone and use bluetooth to play it through the unit, This is just a bypass fix.

joeboe, the message from Pioneer is still on the 'overview' tab of the product page for the x930bt. Here's a link:

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-X930BT

I just bought the X930 and am tackling the install tomorrow (my first install ever). I've been checking back to see if they post an update, but nothing yet. I'm hoping they get this squared away soon! I got the unit for a good price, but I'm already disappointed expecting that it won't work like I thought it should.

Pandora working with iOS5 after app update. Hurray! Now if AHA would work we'd be onto something
