I think it varies per phone, bluetooth on my Galaxy Nexus sounds great. However, my previous Droid X phone didn't sound to great.

Dragon Tats · 04-12-2012, 12:02 PM

I have the Droid X also. I use the headphone jack to the aux port.

I've been trying to connect my Thunderbolt for months, no luck until tonight. Here's the key...my phone had to be connected via USB with Bluetooth on. I put the car in config and put the phone in "search able" mode and GM Music Connect finally showed on my phone. For some reason, the phone had to be connected to the car by USB to connect Bluetooth music. Works like a champ now. Clearly I'm a little slow....

I have a Milestone x2 just like yours .. so do I need a Head phone jack to the Aux port or can I get it to work just using the USB and the blue Tooth ?

Pur3vil · 04-16-2012, 09:38 PM

Either bluetooth or aux port should work. Bluetooth may sound worse due to signal compression, but I don't know if you can skip songs from the head unit with the aux port. Haven't. Tried it yet.

bee sting · 04-18-2012, 05:04 AM

Only way I could get mine to work today was by using the phones headphone jax to the cars aux jack . Sounds great but no way the skip songs unless you use the phone .

Carlos-2SS · 04-20-2012, 09:18 PM

Mine works with the USB. The only setup I did was the Bluetooth for phone calls. I plugin my phone every time I drive to keep it charged then open up pandora. It automatically recognizes the USB and shows up on the HUD. Maybe it's one of those upgrades they did for the later models??? I have a 2011 2SS.

I'm not sure if this does anything to the hands free calling or not since the phone often treats bluetooth as a headphone connection.

That depends on the phone. With an Iphone, Pandora plays over the USB cable.

I run pandora on my deck with 2 different (but relatively high end) phones. Sound quality is actually very good. Make sure you change it to high quality in the pandora options.

If your still low quality, it may be your phones bluetooth stack. Not all of them are equal. You are at the mercy of the hardware that you use.

I do it on my iPhone and it works great

GaBoy25 · 04-20-2012, 11:23 PM

Agreed. It's sounds unbelievable. I just got this car and it's one of my favorite things about it. Inside of course

I have a question for those of you who are phone smart.

I am about to redo my stereo system. Pandora is my favorite music source. I intend to switch to this headunit:

What is the best phone in terms of sound quality?
