Hinton, Iowa | I resently switched to a Droid phone and have Pandora internet radio installed on it. I'm thinking that I may
be able to listen to this on my Vision. I have my phone tied to my 2820 Garmin via Bluetooth and also have a
Scala Q2 Linked to my 2820 also. I have an Ipod hooked to my AUX on the radio.I guess my question is:What is
the best way to listen to Pandora radio and can I listen to it through my factory radio or though my GPS? I'm
sure some techie here has already figured this out. I guess maybe I want to much but but it would be nice to
listen to Pandora or my Ipod. Any help Appeciated, Ride Safe, Mike |

SF Bay Area | I stream Pandora (and others) while riding, as long as I have a good 3G signal, and am willing to accept the bit transfer for streaming. I keep my device (OK, iphone) on my Vision console, and either plumb it into the bike stereo with the Polaris connector, or use earbuds. Mine charges as I ride, so I can use my iphone navigation app while listening to my library, or stream music while riding.
Seems the issue would be finding some way for you to connect your Droid to the Vision. In a perfect world you would be able to feed the signal into the bike's stereo system through the phone charging interface port. |

Hinton, Iowa | I too wouldhave liked touse the Iphone but don't have a choice with my carrier.Iwish the glove box
on the Vision was bigger. Then I could plug the phone into the charger and sound system at the same time.
Ride Safe, Mike |

Wichita, Kansas | I googled this and came up with this little critter. It would take almost zero room in the glove box since it fits the powerlet. Droids charge off a USB connector so this would provide power, just add the cable, and the audio jack will tap it into the radio aux input. The phone should fit in the glove box with this setup.
