I have Mini Connected and an iPhone 5, all software is up to date. I connected my phone to the system and launched Pandora. It works great! Art work shows up on the nav screen, steering wheel controls and joystick function properly. For those of you who haven't tried it, give it a whirl, it's really cool!

 

Absolutely - I get the very same thing from my iPod tethered to my Android smartphone. The Android acts as both bluetooth integrated phone and hotspot.

As nice as Pandora is, I've really been enjoying Web Radio lately. Living in PA, I really miss New Orleans, but get to listen to WWOZ stream though my speakers as if I was there. Between Pandora and WR, I don't miss Sirius (and certainly don't miss paying for the subscription!)..

 

I have a new 2015 coupe with MINI connected. I use an iPod (gen 4 w/ ios 6) and hotspot through my Android Note 4. It appears from what I see in this thread that you have Pandora working. Not having any luck here. If I open Pandora on the ipod as a stand alone (not connected to the car) it works fine. If I try to open Pandora via Mini Connected it will open but then the application dies and takes out the MINI Connected app at the same time. I first had Pandora installed without the MINI Connected app so I uninstalled and re-installed via the application list in the MINI Connected application. No change. Any ideas why Pandora application is aborting and taking out the MINI Connected app at the same time?
