i have an iPhone 4...do i just adjust the bluetooth to on and access pandora from my phone and it plays through the speaker? (excuse techno-ignorance)

Thank you for your question. Yes, the way it works is to turn on the bluetooth on your phone, scan for the Phillips speaker and pair them together. After, they are paired you may use any app that you wish to play music from on your phone. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I have had a couple of issues with it, but it seems to work most the time. When you select the input through the stereo (provided you have paired your phone to the stereo and have the devices connected at the time), it will launch Pandora on the phone to play through your car stereo. You can thumbs up/down songs from the headunit and skip ahead. Occasionally, when i launch Pandora, it wont open, but i think thats more of an issue with the bluetooth being kind of flaky on my HTC One (my wife has a nexus 4, never had a glitch with the bluetooth on that).

If you're using an iPhone, yes. If not, you will be able to connect to your Bluetooth device and stream the Pandora from your phone. I have a Galaxy S5 and that's what I do. It's "almost" as good. The steering wheel controls and song title are sent to the Mercedes Navi system.

I have used my iPhone 4 in it, I don't use Pandora so I can't really give you an answer regarding that, sorry!

Once you get the music to play you should be able hear calls through the speakers. At least thats how my phone works but im not sure if its different for iphone

Hi, turn your Bluetooth on your phone, make sure the speaker is fully charged & turned on. Search for device, it should say "scanning" once it finds your phone hit connect. Try holding the power button down for approx 3 seconds. It will blink and make a beeping sound when it connects. I use Pandora to play it & it works. Just make sure the speaker is powered on first.

The sound comes from the unit, the display is your iPhone. You should be able to play your music just fine through Bluetooth

Pandora through Bluetooth acts as an app on the stereo. You have full control, all album info, and the ability to find or change music using the Pandora app. that automatically loads on your phone when started on the stereo. Pandora actually works very well compared to other Bluetooth stereo's I have used in vehicles. As for google music, you have to use the phone as an bt audio device so don't expect the amount of control through the stereo as Pandora allows. Not 100%, but I think it does show album info. Also, the touchscreen is far better than I was expecting.

Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone. I simply connect to the speaker via bluetooth, and then stream music all day. It doesn't matter if you play music from your phone, ipad, ipod, (itunes) or any other device. I also, through bluetooth connectivity, play music from Pandora and Slacker. All said, this is a fantastic speaker for desktop use at home or office. It has great sound from such a small device. The battery last for quite a long time as well. I hope this helps you. I am getting ready to purchase a second speaker for my girlfriend to use at her office. Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone.

I also have an iPhone 4. Here is how it worked for me. I just turned on the speaker, then went to settings and bluetooth on my iPhone. Once the device showed up as BT-150, I tapped it and it connected. Of course you have to be within 30 feet or so from the speaker.

You can only make phone calls but cant listen to music. The iphone is not A2DP device, hence you cant play music via a bluetooth headset.

No, with the pandora option, it doesn't, you have to have it plugged in for iPhones, might have changed with ios7, I havnt tried again yet. But I use the Bluetooth feature to play pandora through the unit and you have control there, just no thumbs up or down for pandora, everything else works. I love it.

The speaker should be able to connect to your wifi (from the Gateway 2701). You can not play to it from Pandora on your computer. The speaker itself can play Pandora. You have to control Pandora using either the remote control or your iPhone or Android phone.

I almost exclusively use my iPod classic, however my son was using his iPhone 5 (with a lightening to 30 pin adapter-works fine) and listening to Pandora and it sounded great to me--albeit I was not focusing on the music at the time. Hope this helps.

I stream Pandora from my smart phone. I connected the bluetooth once and now every time I turn the speaker on, the phone connects to the speaker. I then play Pandora through it's app. It sounds great.

Yes. I have an iPhone 4 and I stream pandora on it when I drive. iPhone 5 will work too.
