Control Pandora or Slacker Radio from Steeringwheel Controls

Do you want to control Pandora or Slacker Radio from your steering wheel? Also, do you want to know what’s playing on Pandora on your Nav screen?

What you need:
• Jailbroken Iphone with any firmware with Cydia.
• Program called Music Control Pro from BigBoss Repository in Cydia.
• Pandora or Slacker Radio

**WILL NOT WORK WITH AUX must have a iPod or iPhone connector cable**

After installing Music Control Pro program it should work. To skip to the next song you MUST PUSH DOWN not up on the steering wheel.

Also, if you have a jailbroken Iphone there's a nice hack in Cydia for Pandora where you can skip unlimited songs. Depending on the version of the Pandora you have. If you don’t know go to settings in Pandora and look at what version you have. Mostly likely the newest one v3.1.8. Then install one of the following programs according to the version you have:
• Pandora Skip Hack V3.1.8
• Pandora V3.1.4 Skip Hack

Excellent. I don't have an iphone but I now have a hacked Pandora app on my Droid, (unlimited skips, no commercials). I should visit those Droid forums more often...
Thanks!

If you connect Pandora via Bluetooth streaming, the track up button on the steering wheel actually works as the skip button.

BUT I dont know of a way to get the Pandora info on the screen using streaming. Is there one? Id be very happy if there were (but as it is Im just happy I can stream audio to the head unit)
