Default Pandora/Iphone/Boombox

I was piddling with streaming Pandora through the Infotainment system yesterday, and it works as I wanted it to-almost. Is there any way to change to a different station using the Infotainment system, or do I just have to keep hitting the "next/seek" button on the handlebars, and physically make the change of stations with my phone? I was hoping to not have to mount my phone on the handlebars with this bike, but may have to, mainly for this purpose. It works like a charm when playing my ITunes music, though.(playlists,artists,albums, etc.)

Thanks.

Default Pandora

I do not think that there is anyway to change channels to other stations that you created on Pandora. I'm just happy that I can skip songs within stations from the left-side control.

While we are on the subject.......does anyone know how to select Pandora when hardwired through the USB port? The only option that I have when not using Bluetooth, is to play songs from my itunes folders or playlists.

Pandora seems to only work via bluetooth or out the headset port.

I know iphone's have some difference, and I think there are other threads on this. With Android, I can leave the phone plugged in the usb port to charge, while at the same time using pandora over bluetooth. Under media, I see both sources, usb and bluetooth names for the phone.

Make sure you have the Pandora app running before you plug it into the bike and it should work just fine.

I use Spotify on an iPhone 5 but it should be essentially the same. Even with starting the Spotify playback before plugging the iPhone in, it often starts playing as an iPod (music stored on iPhone) as soon as the USB is plugged in. Just hit play in Spotify (Pandora) again on the iPhone app and it will then continue playing the app while charging.

You can only skip songs through the Infotainment controls. You can not change stations, etc. You must do that on the iPhone itself.

I'm thinking of getting my old RAM mount out I used to use on my old bike to mount the iPhone on the bars for longer trips so that I can change channels, playlists, etc in Spotify. Otherwise it works great and the audio quality is leaps and bounds better than Satellite radio and cheaper too!!

I can't wait to get this option going on my bike, spent boo-koo $ on 2012 FLHTK to accomplish what you are saying here.
