I have enhanced BT along with BMW apps. How do I get pandora going? Does it require the cradle which I don't have? I don't see pandora in the BMW apps menu.

Thanks

All I had to do in order to get Pandora access is to use my Apple iPhone cable, hook it up, and then access the Pandora app on my iPhone....This then triggered BMW Apps to open up the Pandora app in iDrive. Then you can listen to hours & hours of music in your new Bimmer! Enjoy my friend!

You can also stream Pandora over bluetooth just like you would any other music.

No kidding. When I watched a video review of an Audi, it showed on the car's center screen that the audio through Bluetooth was streaming at 32kbps.

I thought: "This is what all the hype is over streaming audio to your car?" You might as well buy a transistor radio and put it in the passenger's seat to listen to.

If I have 16 speakers and 600W of power like the Harman Kardon radio upgrade has, there'd better be a lot better quality of sound going through it than 32, 64, or 96kbps.

Stick to the music you downloaded (hopefully at far better rates than those mentioned above) into the hard drive and get more out of the radio.

Of course, if you don't care about audio quality or listen to talk radio, I suppose lower rates are just fine.

Thanks! Feel stupid I didn't try simply launching the pandora app lol
