Problem getting Pandora working through BMW Apps

jschottenfeld · 09-24-2012, 04:20 PM

Anybody else having an issue with Pandora not working in the BMW Apps? MOG works fine when plugged into the adapter. When I try to fire up Pandora on my phone I receive a connection error. It states that I should upgrade to the newest version of Pandora....which I have done.

I had the problem with IOS5 and still have it with IOS6

Does your car have the new 2012/13 version of iDrive? Mine doesn't work, either. Pandora is aware and they have said they are working on a fix.

Works ok for me on both Bluetooth, and the apple usb cable using iPhone 4, IOS 5 and most recent version of pandora. If using bluetooth, have to make sure phone in Idrive is set for both telephone and audio.

Wdimagineer....I do have the new 2013 version of iDrive in my F10. When I pop my iPhone 4S either with ios5 or ios6 into the cradle it automatically disables the bluetooth audio. MOG works fine in the cradle, Pandora shows a poor communication error.

Oddly enough I was just going to post about this issue. My 2013 F10 has the exact same issue, regarding the connection error in Pandora. I can only play pandora through bluetooth right now. I would love to use the cable or cradle so I can see the album art, but for now, I have to do without it.

I have the same issue in my MY13 car. I don't see Pandora at all when connected with BMW Apps.
