Pandora with Album Art on Nav Screen?

caesarp · 04-23-2011, 10:47 AM

I have a blackberry (no Iphone) and a 2011 328i with Nav, bluetooth, Office etc. (Do not have BMW apps -- which I think only works with Iphone anyway).

Is there anyway to have Pandora from my Blackberry display on the Nav screen? I could get it to play via my car's speakers (but no album art and no control to move around stations, etc.-- so not good when driving).

You answered your own question.

But I thought there may be some other way, without Iphone. After all, album art works with a USB stick and .mp3 files. You would think it would work with a blackberry connected to the USB input in the console, playing Pandora via the Blackberry.

The software support is simply not there on both ends (iDrive and Blackberry) yet.

I do expect that within 6-months to a year BMW and the other cell OS suppliers will have the support/apps for the 6NR, though. This does not look to me like a permanent Apple-only feature but a full open platform for all cell OS. Apple is just the first as is it the most known...

Is it possible through coding that the screen could say something like:

"Streaming Audio" or "Pandora is streaming" instead of the default Unknown....

Does the new software update that addresses phone functionality and title display resolve this issue?
