yeah, mine does that too. That's why I start pandora or whatever before I switch to bluetooth audio. Otherwise it plays some annoying preloaded mp3 from my phone.

My Pandora connects to the bluetooth audio, but I have no sound. It worked for a while, but stopped a couple of weeks ago. I have since staretd plugging the phone into the AUX jack, but doing that doean't allow you to use the steering wheel controls for skipping songs. The phone and SYNC both indicate that they are connected, anyone else running into this ?

Pvb, I too am running into this. Worked for awhile and still works for calls but no more bt audio. I've reconnected my droidx multiple times, deleted it from sync and it won't play a thing. Phone shows it it's connected for bt audio, wonder if the tsb flash will work.

I was having an initial issue where when I connected BT it would play MP3's using WinAmp as well as the built in Droid X media player. Freaked me out the first time it happened. I updated to the latest SYNC version and it stopped doing it.

Not sure if this will work, but I read that resetting the whole system works. Pull the ground off the battery, let it sit for a minute, then re-hook it up. Apparently pulling the fuse for SYNC does the same thing, but I'm not sure if that truly does work.

I'm also curious if anyone really uses the phone part of sync? When I have an incoming call and I don't want it to run through sync how do I make that happen?
I use the phone all of the time. Speakerphone works really well.

For you guys not hearing anything; start pandora, press the speak button on the wheel, then say "bluetooth audio" and it will start playing.

Anyone else have a problem with music pausing/stopping momentarily while streaming Pandora?
