Default PANDORA from IPHONE 5

Hello All:

I am a new member; I just took delivery of my 2014 Lime Rock Green 3-LT Coupe (picture to follow). I could not get Pandora to work using Bluetooth on my IPHONE 5 so I contacted Chevrolet my link and I was told that the IPHONE 5 wont work unless you use the USB plug?

I have no issues with the IPHONE on our Lincoln Navigator or our Camry, they work fine. My Link says its Apple's problem and not theirs, anyone else experience this yet?

Welcome Bill,

Yes, same "issue" with Iphone 5. Hoping for a fix from Apple soon as I enjoy Pandora every outing.

Enjoy the new ride!!

Ok... Don't shoot the messenger, but, I'm told you have to delete the app on your phone, then reload it, and lastly, resync the phone or pair it up again to the car. I honestly haven't tried it yet but, again, I'm told that is the fix for the iPhone 5. Lemme know?

If you are trying to use the Pandora app on mylink then yes you do need to plug it in via USB. It uses the phones data to stream pandora.

You can use pandora on your phone still and connect it via bluetooth, however you will not be able to control it via the app in the car. You will have to use your phone to control it. Just like you would if you were using any other app like spotify.

I believe that the Manual says that Pandora is available via Bluetooth on Android, but that you need USB for iPhone5.

As above - just buy an extra $20 cable, leave it in your car. Connect Pandora at will (center console works dandy) - while you're listening to tunes your phone charges!

OR ---- just use iTunes Radio, have all the functionality of Pandora, AND use Bluetooth.
