mlaurence Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I haven't been able to get any song information on the MFT screen when Pandora is playing on my Android phone through Bluetooth Audio. It has always displayed the last track I played on Google Play Music instead. I read manuals, forums, and nothing I tried worked. Tonight I put Pandora on for the first time in a couple of days, and, look at that! The song title and artist from Pandora was displaying on the screen! Plus, I was able to pause and skip to the next song using the touch buttons on the screen. Just what I wanted! It wasn't quite perfect. At one point in my half-hour drive home, the display reverted to my last Google Play track, but I noticed my phone display was dark. When I activated it, the Pandora track came back, and then it changed titles correctly when the song changed. I noticed that my Pandora app on the phone had upgraded in the past couple of days. My guess is they did something in that upgrade to make it play better with MFT. But I don't really know - maybe it's been working all along for other people. I'm really glad to see it working now. Next up on my wish list - album art on the MFT screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'd sure be happy if Spotify were to show album art and detailed information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsaguy Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 You can change the settings on your phone so it doesnt dim/darken the screen when it goes it sleep. this is great if you have the phone plugged in to a power source so it doesnt drain it out. not good if you dont.

asb Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Good to know! I haven't tried Pandora on my phone for a long while. I think I'll try it today. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjurek99 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 If you listen to the Pandora via Bluetooth and then you switch to let us say - TuneIn Radio - the MFT shows the last played Pandora's song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if it shows the album art too. Spotify might not have the MFT AppLink stuff implemented on their Android app yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My music selection is displayed on the right center dash screen as well as on the MFT lower left screen but there is no album art info, which is fine with me.

I remember trying to connect via USB, back when I first got my C-MAX, and that wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, the art is about the size of a quarter, but at least it's something. Now if only we could get thumbs up/down on MFT as well...
