Question Easiest way to get Pandora in my car?
I have a blackberry with Pandora on it, and I'd LOVE to get it to play on my factory sound system.. What is the easiest way to hook it up?

dude thats so exciting you have no idea. I just hope my phone service doesnt suck whilst in the car. I heard there is a way you can save songs from Pandora, or save whole stations on your phone without requiring service, but I dunno

You can save stations and flag your favorite songs... I've been doing this for quite some time on my bberry. Make sure you're using the highest quality signal and it will play pretty clear - no hissing. Although, the Pandora service has been spotty as of late (I'm in the northwest Chicago suburbs) with songs skipping and signal not being all that great. Pandora (and/or Verizon) has to get it together.

How do you flag a song? I know you can thumbs up or down it. I actually use the regular signal because Sprint is kinda spotty too at the gym at least.

FML, bought the aux cord before I realized this. I was looking everywhere in my console for it. I feel dumb.

IF you have aux input you could stream it with a simple bluetooth revever like the blueridge mini jack

THIS - radioshack ftw! Otherwise fm transmitters are more expensive with worse sound quality but it helps you go "wireless"

so, i connected a bluetooth receiver (sonorix c3) to a 2 way aux cable in the arm rest.
then via bluetooth, i connected my nexus one to the sonorix c3. now i can play music on my phone (grooveshark) via bluetooth
only problem is, it only works when the car is off but in accessorie mode. when i turn the car on the bluetooth skips. any thoughts?
