Question MDX 2012 with Tech & Entertaining.. Getting Pandora on bluetooth??

Hey Guys,
Just got our brand new Acura MDX 2012 w/ Tech & Ent. This is our first ever acura! We set up our iphones (4) on the car correctly and can make calls etc. Now trying to play the pandora on blue tooth.. and each time I try that I get 'No Volume' on my iphone and nothing happens, I see that the songs are being played on iphone, but it does not stream thru car audio.
I usually connect my phone on the USB. And also use phone controls to 'discover another connected' phone option (as my hubbys phone was discovered and hooked up first). I made sure that it correctly detected my phone, though.

I do see 'blue tooth audio' on the dashboard, but nothing happens!
and no sound comes thru the car audio!?? Frustrating!

Any help from experts out there???
Thanks in advance,

Sorry for the late response - did you get it to work?
Can you play resident songs from your phone via BT?

The USB/AUX button is used in this case. When there's a connected phone, press the USB/AUX button until 'Bluetooth Audio' appears on the display. Click the AirPlay icon on the connected phone and ensure that HandsFreeLink is selected, and off you go.

If I understand your description correctly, its not going to work if you're hooked up thru USB but the dash says BlueTooth .... needs to say USB to work thru USB. Or, disconnect from USB and stream thru Bluetooth.

That could lead to some confusion, but it won't prevent it from working.

If the following conditions are met, it'll work:

Phone is connected to car via Bluetooth (connected via USB or not doesn't matter)
Stereo is in "Bluetooth Audio" mode
AirPlay output is set to 'HandsFreeLink'

If the above is true, it'll work just fine.
