I'd like to stream Pandora via the USB cable. Signs point to this not being supported. I'm running iPhone 4S 5.1.1

Anyone get this working?

2012 TSX *No tech package

 

It *kinda* works, but you will often eventually get an "unsupported" message come up on the car display. Sometimes it will play for seconds, sometimes minutes.. but it always seems to get the message (and playback stops) eventually. You are better off streaming Pandora via bluetooth. The steering wheel controls work for Pandora via bluetooth also. To keep charged, I would just plug the phone into the 12v port (with a USB charger adapter) instead.

 

Update : I was originally using an older iPod USB cable (the one with a tall casing vs the new short design). As soon as I used the new USB cable it worked flawlessly.

Only minor issue is the iPhone will automatically switch source to Handsfree when you first start up the car, just have to click the Airplay symbol and select DockConnector as source.

One other issue, I can't change Pandora songs via steering wheel +/-.. it instead changes local iPod songs.. not a big deal..


I will deal with those small issues because the AUX input on the iPhone is in the worst possible position for driving and changing music.

 

+1 for getting the tech pkg. It may be a bit expensive but worth every penny.
