It works fine on the bike, as long as I've got signal. The only time I had a problem was in the Smokies.
I run a charging cord to my phone, as Pandora can kill the battery in a few hours.

If you don't have an unlimited data plan Verizon. Is offering 4gb a month for the standard 30 fee if you get a 4g phone. Not too bad since the standard is 2gb a month
Also it is an extra 10 a month for every gb you go over. Most people don't use 2the gigs unless streaming movies or games and radio a lot

For those that have "unlimited" plans be careful. Most "unlimited" plans are in fact limited to 5 gigs. Double check with your carrier. And if you like pandora you should also try Slacker Radio. Thats the one I use.

I use Internet streaming on my phone while riding. I use the iPod mount in the saddlebag and play it through my iPod interface kit. The only problem is that I can't control any of the streaming apps via the handlebar controls while it's in the saddlebag.
If I ever drop signal, I just use the handlebar controls to flip it back to the iPod mode on the phone and listen to what I have stored on the device.

I am going to give it a try for a while. I called Verizon and they said that my unlimited plan is a true unlimited plan. They said I would not get "throttled" or charged anymore for usage. Let's see what happens. I will probably get the ipod interface kit eventually.

I don't use Pandora, but I do stream internet radio using TuneIn Radio on the iPhone and it streams fine. There are spots where my cell signal drops out, but the stream picks up where it left off as soon as the signal returns. It's not perfect, but good enough for listening to Milwaukee radio all the way down here in Houston.

IS anyone using Pandora Radio through their phone as their source for music on their bike?
I have an XM onyx now and the unit is so sloppy with the cradle and antenna and wires etc... I tried the Pandora just in the parking lot at work and it was coming through nice, but how is it while riding? Does it cut out or is it a nice music stream? I am thinking between Pandora and my Ipod I can ditch the XM.
Feedback Please
Thanks
Joe

No need to hook anything to the radio. Just need a power outlet. It transmits to you radio and charges at the same time.
