No, just through the spotify website. You click on mobile, and it brings you to the App Store on my iPhone. Then a message pops up saying it's not available in the Canadian App Store at this time....#stupidapple

 

Mine too doesn't show Song/ Album info on '12 FWD tech. And also Handsfree link is selected (that up button). It didn't show on ios 5/ iPhone 4s or ios 6/ iPhone 4s

 

Man that sucks! Stupid Apple! Maybe you could call Spotify and ask about when the App will be available in Canada or you could search for something similar in the App Store under the music category. The other option is Pandora but I don't think you can listen to albums or have music stored as a favorite under your profile but Pandora does offer Internet radio free and there is purchase required to get rid of the ads...same as Spotify but the Spotify purchase buys more than ad elimination.

 

Doubt that Apple is holding up availability in Canada (although I guess that it is possible). Probably more a legal/license or financial issue with Spotify themselves.

For those really worried about data usage, the Spotify app has some settings to help. You can set the stream quality to be lower than the offline playback quality. You can also specify that only playlists available for offline playing are even available through the app. And make sure that playlist sync is only on via wifi (that's the default).

 

Yep I use the normal stream quality and the music quality is great! For some reason when I stream over cellular it doesn't use very much data at all. But when listening to songs over wifi I have it setup where when I like a song, it is automatically added to my offline playlist. I have over 200 songs in my library now that I can play offline without any data charges. I have a 5GB data plan and I only use 2-3GB a month and that includes web browsing and streaming Spotify all day at work. Spotify is great!

 

I've got it all sorted now. I have Spotify on my iphone! For those of you that stream, how much data does it use up? I've only got 500MB a month inclided in my plan which I know isn't much. Is there anyone that has an idea on how much they use relative to Spotify?

 

I would plan on it using 1 GB per month at the max with heavy use. So what I would do if listen at home on wifi and like the songs you want with the thumbs up button and make sure synch is turned on to get it added to your playlist. Then when you are in the song turn offline mode on and it will only play the songs in your playlist without data use. You can also search for albums you like and have them synched as well. So glad you got it work! Enjoy!

 

Oh and you can reset the data usage counter in your phone settings so that you can track the usage.

 

So, just so I'm understanding this correctly, I can listen to songs I have in my "liked from radio" playlist from my phone without using data? I may have just answered that myself.....I turn off data on my phone, and my "liked from radio" playlist becomes greyed out.....dammit!! Ah, I see I will need the premium membership to do this. I guess I'll have to wait until I can get to a Target store in Duluth, MN

 

Resurrecting a old thread here but as anyone been successful in getting a android phone (i have S4) to display Pandora song info on the nav screen when using BT?

 

I have 2012 AWD

 

MIne works on my S3, but if the phone screen turns off, it will show the info for the song that was on when the screen timed out. When you turn it back on or open pandora, it updates the info.

Honestly, I just use Google Play Music. Works flawlessly with displaying track info and the quality is much better than pandora.

 

Even when i play via google play music I don't get any thing on the screen. Clearly Im not doing something right here. Does your phone auto link and display song info?

 

did you delete the stock samsung music player? After doing that, any BT device automatically uses Google Music as the default player.

 

No I have not.
I got it to display (fail on my part) but when the song changes the screen stays on the first song that plays. Anyone else experience this?

 

I'm assuming the first track info stays up when using pandora? Mine does too. Not sure if it's the app or the phone. It refreshes the info if you open the app again.

Google play music works perfectly though.

 

Sorry to revive an old topic but the MDX owners aren't helpful. I have 2 iPhones paired to my MDX (my 5S and my wife's 5). Driver 1 (wife) is set for her iPhone and Driver 2 (me) is set to my iPhone under the cell phone setup menu. However, when I'm driving, my iPhone connects to the HFL for phone calls but the BT Audio connects to my wife's iPhone. According to the owners manual, only the driver 1/2 specific phone should be connected for both calls and audio. Can anyone explains this?

 

I have a 2014TL non-nav.

I listen to XM/Sirrius 100% of the time, but want to use my Android phone (RazrM) for Google maps/nav, etc. Is there any way to set this up so that I can listen to XM but have the google nav cut in with Bluetooth turn by turn directions?

 

Anyone?

 

I do not believe there is a way since you need to be using the aux setting on the radio to hear Bluetooth from your phone. In fact, if you don't turn off the Bluetooth audio streaming from your phone, there is a good chance you will not even hear. The turn by then directions from your phone at all.

I have been trying to accomplish this on my tl, odyssey abd my Hyundai sonata, without luck on all fronts.

 

K, thanks. I ended up turning off media audio on the phone BT so that it sends the google nav directions to the phone speaker only.
