How well does it stream audio, such as for Pandora, and GPS directions?

I have not streamed music, but I do listen to turn by turn directions from google maps on my iphone and it works great.

Well enough. Any audio that can be heard on your phone is sent through this device. I found it particularly useful for GPS directions, but the sound quality for music isn't something to brag about.

I listen to my music more than anything using this and it's pretty good. Clear and loud enough for me to hear over the noise from my truck.

Sorry Can't help you with your questing. I have not use the M55 for that purpose yet. As a headset it works well as any Blue-tooth, short range. The one nice thing is no button to push to answer, just say answer or decline. Using with Galaxy S3 Mini.

Hi, paring method on this Sony Sound system is via Bluetooth and apparently streaming music will only work on audio files that are downloaded on the device itself. It will not work on streaming music coming from Pandora. -Ely

No blutetooth music streaming on this device. navigation does not speak street names, just directions and distances. It has a decent POI though.

The Bluetooth compatibility with an android you can do Pandora through the app on the stereo sync with your phone or if you have music in your phone you can also stream it through Bluetooth the only thing you need the mirror link cable for is if you actually want to play music videos or share pictures on your phone on the radio screen

Yes! I really enjoy the Bluetooth streaming feature. It is just as clear as if you were playing a cd, no difference!

The Kenwood app sucks, and isn't worth installing. It only allows you play music stored locally on the phone, and won't work with 3rd party players like Google Play Music, Amazon Music or any podcast or streaming services. The Bluetooth audio streaming works well for all of those things though, and the built in support for Pandora is top notch. It's a great stereo and I've been very happy with it, but the Kenwood app is next to useless, and thankfully isn't required. If you want to try the Kenwood app on your phone before buying, you can get it from the play store, but like I mentioned it is next to useless, and the built in bluetooth audio streaming is superior.

It will stream from Pandora, but I do not know about iHeart Radio because I do not stream very often.

I listen to Pandora through my phone with this speaker with no issues, that is the only music I run through the phone and it works fine so far.

I am not usign Pandora neither Spotify but i do use Rdio (is the same). The receiver is compatible with Airplay so the only thing you need is to have your tablet of phone to the same network. The downside is that you are not able to airplay from a device different than a Mac. However i am considering that Mac is far more reliable. I am capable to stream without troubles

No problems with Pandora or 3GS. It is just a 3.5mm interface to your phone. It will play whatever your phone is outputting - iPod, Pandora, Spotify -you name it.

I agree, but you have another option. Use the FM transmitter to send the Garmin audio to your car speakers but also use the Garmin to play your MP3's. That way you get music and directions sent through your radio. Works great.

Works with Pandora. As for iTunes I don't know, but anything with audio goes into the sterero.

yes, I found this unit very easy to set up on my home network, downloaded the app on my kindle and my android phone and can play pandora, sirius, Iheart, or any other net source of audio.
