Does it have pandora controls in the unit? Or only via a phone app? Will the android pandora app work with this unit?

I believe the only way to use Pandora is through a separate devise. I used my iPhone so not sure about Android. I used the radio on my boat. It was located in the cabin and still only lasted about a year after which the controls failed.

I have this radio and use it with Pandora when I shower. It doesn't have buttons to skip songs or anything like that to control my Iphone or computer. Works nice for what I wanted though.

No...It does, however work with Pandora and a radio station management site called Reciva. I use it exclusively with Reciva.

Unfortunately Elias, this radio does not currently support pandora. We are working with Reciva and the other premium content providers and with future firmware upgrades hope to offer this support, but I can not tell you when this will happen. Until then you should have a wonderful time expoloring the over 9,000 it does have.

Hi Mariah, Pandora® Internet Radio Control works with iPhone® 3G, 3GS, 4 and 4S via USB port. -Anthony

Using my android smartphone with bluetooth, I am able to control basic features of Spotify. However, meta data does not show. Reading Spotify forums this is more likely a Spotify problem than this unit. Older versions of Spotify has worked great with this unit.Using the USB cable into the unit does not make a difference either. Neither does using the aux/in.All other music apps seem to work fine, just Spotify seems to have problems. This Kenwood unit is awesome!

As I purchase my music through Amazon I tried downloading the Amazon CloudPlayer App with no luck, so I imagine that the Pandora might be problematic as well though it seems that others have been able to do it without a problem. Just remember it is truly a WiFi unit which means you have to be in a wifi area for it to work.

the new update doesn't include Netflix(updated my player lastnight BD.4.874.00) it's very clear on amazon,and LG site.nothing mentioned about Netflix. 550 and up models do. from LG rep " We actually had models before this one that have Pandora. At this price point we are limited on the apps we can add due to hardware, license fees, etc. We never said this model has or will have Pandora,netflix" plus if u check netcast it does say "features vary by model and category"

I use an android device and yes it works. Basically there's two forms of bluetooth connectivity : phone only and phone and audio. The audio buttons on the speaker interface with the same buttons on android apps (pandora, music player, etc). You can even stream youtube audio or Netflix audio through it.. And the same skip controls work.

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

Hi!I have an android phone. I literally just opened up my music and Pandora app and it played. I just plugged the cord into the headphone spot!

Yes. All you do is connect Bluetooth and when you get to the pandora option it will automatically open the app.

It connects through Bluetooth to another device. I know my husband would use pandora on his phone and it would come through the speaker fine. You could also control the station.

No, with the pandora option, it doesn't, you have to have it plugged in for iPhones, might have changed with ios7, I havnt tried again yet. But I use the Bluetooth feature to play pandora through the unit and you have control there, just no thumbs up or down for pandora, everything else works. I love it.

I stream Pandora from my smart phone. I connected the bluetooth once and now every time I turn the speaker on, the phone connects to the speaker. I then play Pandora through it's app. It sounds great.

Sold the car I had the unit in a while ago but I know it has a 3.5 mm auxiliary jack to plug into your phone. You could output Pandora that way but as for streaming it through the dock connector, I'm not sure. It's been a while since I've used it. Hope this helps! It's very easy to install and all in all a great unit.

Plays Pandora and iTunes just fine. It wants to install it's own app that is.... eh. Not required. I took it off.
