Default Just found out trucks with sync can run Pandora through bluetooth

so i bought a new droid phone and i have the sync navi system... i was wondering if i could run pandora on my phone and bluetooth the audio to my truck.. so i did and booya!.. im so excited about this i thought i would post it.. haha.. the little things in life that make life grand! also droid works with text messaging so when you get a text message instead of trying to read it while driving it reads it to you.. im starting to find my truck more entertaining then my living room haha.. i also read that they are trying to integrate more apps to work with the sync system

Nice! I have a G1 (yes, been on Android for almost 2 years now) and I haven't messed too much with the music options. I'll have to try running Pandora through there. That link simply opens up so many more options...

I use a police scanner app on the iPhone through the stereo. Looks like anything that you can listen to on the speaker can be pushed through the bluetooth connection. I'm kinda ready to see if Ford makes some kind of APP to work with your truck. Maybe track maintenance, send updates, control settings that would normally be done through the menu by the speedometer.
