Default Pandora via IPhone and USB?

Tried running my IPhone 5S via the USB to play Pandora and/or IHeartRadio... Both brought the song into the radio display along with the play/pause controls, however- no sound. (Both radio and phone volumes properly adjusted...)

I tried searching the forum but couldn't really find anything definitive to explain this. Bluetooth streaming works fine, but I'd rather have the full signal capabilities of a direct connection; am I doing something wrong??

Thanks in advance

Hey Drago77!

Drago77,

The MyFord Touch system does not have the option to listen to apps via USB. You must stream using Bluetooth Audio.

Hi mac10,

I can lend a hand with this. Do you have the MyFord Touch as well?

On an apple iphone when you're in Pandora, in the bottom right corner there should be a box looking icon (I'm going from memory here) but select that should bring up an option to select Bluetooth, dock connector and speaker, select dock connector. What Shaay from Ford is talking about is Mytouch does not support applink which is available on some non Mytouch sync systems. You can definitely listen to Pandora, Amazon etc through the dock connector, I do it all the time to save battery. Most the apps on the phone will default to Bluetooth if your phone is connected to the unit already so you have to manually select it from the app on the phone.

Sometimes I unplug the USB while playing and plug it back in, always fixes the no sound issue.
