Pandora in a C6
This may seem too elementary to many here, but the only stupid question is one not asked.
What is the best and simplest way to get the Pandora on my smartphone to play through my Centennial Z06?
Remember, I'm technically challenged, so layman's terms please.
Thanks in advance,
David

<-------The absolute easiest way would be for us to exchange cars even up. I've got the Pioneer NAV system that does Pandora and AHA and just about every way to possible play music. This offer is only good for an hour.

I have a GS CE and an iPhone4, I can plug the phone in to the USB port in the center console, select ipod, play a song on the phone, then pause the song. Open Pandora, play music. It will play on the radio and the artist and song info will even be there. The play and pause buttons work also.
YMMV depending on the phone you have.

Best bet would probably be a PAL. I think this is pretty much only for Iphone/Ipod though.
The integration is actually pretty good, almost as nice as my x920. Almost.

Actually wouldn't that be explained in the OP's Centennial Owners Manual.

iphones can send music and track info out through the docking port to the usb cable, his phone may not be able to do that, or maybe the car doesn't recognize it as an audio device.
I initially resisted ipods back when they first came out, but now that's the only product that pretty much every HU is compatible with. I now have an ipod in the car, an ipod on my home theater system, and an iphone that I pretty much take everywhere.

Thanks guys. I've got an LG Spectrum.....thought it was one of the newest. I tried to tether to the USB port with the micro USB on the phone, but the Nav didn't recognize the phone. I thought maybe there was a way to stream using the Bluetooth, but evidently my Corvette doesn't have the Intelli-whatever that a Buick LaCrosse has. What a shame. I didn't know if there was something I needed to do to get the phone recognized as a music device by the Nav.
Looks like I'm back to my mp3's, but the Pandora is awesome.
BTW....I guess I missed the one hour limit on the straight up trade, dang it. Thanks for the offer.

I have the standard BOSE radio (no navigation) on my 2011 GS. There is a headphone plug on the radio I use to connect my phone. I have a Pandora app on my Razor Maxx and the combination seems to work fine for me.
