Ford Sync w/ iPhone w/ Pandora via bluetooth...does it work for you?

[mustang_marc]

I've got a friend with that combo, but she didn't know Pandora would work via bluetooth. Well, I got her to try that over the weekend and for the first 5 mins, she was happy...pure bliss. Since then, she's driven to work, etc and it cuts out frequently - meaning a half second drop of music about once or twice a minute. She has a 3G, so I was curious if it had to do with having a slower phone or that was common with the Ford Sync? I didn't try to sync my 3GS, but it would have been a good experiment. Does anyone have experience with this?

Works fine for me in the gf's focus. Used it to stream pandora and music off my phone. The only "skipping" problem I've had was from leaving too many other programs running in the background.

Works fine for me using my 3GS. Sounds like maybe a bandwidth issue. How is her signal strength?

mine works great. I have a 4

With your Captivate? How do you get Pandora to play over Bluetooth?

I dont know about her signal strength, but she has a 10-ish mile drive to work. From what I understand, it does it consistently the whole time.

In regards to other programs in the background, she hasn't updated to iOS4 yet, so she doesn't have multiple programs running.

I streamed music from my iphone 3GS without any issues, never tried Pandora. I did one time listen to some Denver Talk radio with IheartRadio or whatever it's called, no issues with that.

Shouldn't matter, I was streaming just fine pre-iOS4. Does it stream fine playing songs she has on the phone already or does it cut out there? Does it only happen with Pandora or other internet streaming music apps like LastFM? If it's cutting out on the iPod than maybe it's a Bluetooth issue.

Bluetooth streaming through sync. What happens when you try?

It paired, but then I couldn't figure out how to make it stream. I got it now!

Services, what Service do you want?

Bluetooth audio

I'm sorry, I didn't understand you, what service did you want?

Bluetooth audio

I think you said Bluetooth audio, is that correct?

Yes




Never ending fucken battle with stupid SYNC.

Unless it's been resolved since I quit, 4.0+ software for the iphone can screw sync up completely to where the module itself has to be reflashed. Almost every day I would have a customer come in and complain about it. Sometimes it would actually fry the module and would have to be replaced.

For the people asking why Ford doesn't fix it...it's an Apple problem. When sync came out, it was 100% compatible with Apple software, so something Apple did fucked it up.
