Pandora Radio? 2012 support BT streaming yet?

[ILSMKU]

Does the 2012 Tahoe or Yukon Denali support BT streaming yet? I keep getting mixed answers from the dealerships. If they DO NOT, what are you all doing to get pandora playing WHILE being able to use the steering wheel controls to skip?

PS:
Im not interested in using the mp3 jack. Doing so means I have to pick up my phone to skip. So streaming or some add on thing would be ideal.


Thanks!

It doesn't.

You need a lock pic device to add it in.

I would go with a Bluefusion system before ever touching a lockpick....

Why is that?


And does this bluefusion system fully integrate with the factory bluetooth system? Does the factory bluetooth system still handle the calls? Or does this system replace that bluetooth function too?

What is the USB function for? Would it control streaming music or no?

I tried usb mode and it appears to only work in IPOD mode. So if your iphone had songs in the IPOD part of it, it will work. Or if you use the USB for an IPOD.

I figured it might be but was not for sure.

That bluefusion thing looks like crap from what I can see in this video...

It works thru the XM port. Your steering wheel controls for the FACTORY bluetooth do not work anymore. Instead you use SEEK forward and SEEK backward to make and hang up calls? Thats WHACK.

I want to retain 100% of the factory bluetooth function. I JUST WANT TO ADD BT audio streaming to it.

Oh. My truck is an 08 and did not have native BT functionality, so the Bluefusion was an easy/cheap fix for me. I would never stream music over AD2P anyway since it sounds like shit.....

Gotcha. I like clean audio myself. But BT audio in my former 2011 Subaru STI sounded just as clean as hardwired. My 2011 BMW M3 BT audio sounds clean to me as well.


Its not like going from CD to FM. Its more like an MP3 going from 320bit to 192bit. Its not that much of a drop to the normal ear.

At least in what Ive noticed with the recent cars Ive owned.
