The monogram headunit - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Question for you guys on the Monogram headunit, I had it setup for bluetooth and everything, but is there a way to make it display the songs from pandora on my phone, on the radio itself so I can skip them or whatnot?

Unless the HU itself has a pandora app, probably not. If it's just playing sound over bluetooth, then it''s really limited as to what you can do with the HU controls.

You can change the songs from pandora on your head unit with an iPhone over Bluetooth.

If you have an Android phone your out of luck. iPhones have much more HU integration. I have to listen to Pandora via Bluetooth. What has made it easier is installing a BeatSonic phone holder that places the phone right next to my HU. I had first tried a phone holder that attaches to the windshield and it obstructed too much of my line of sight in a vehicle that already has blind spot issues.

FYI the monogram head unit is same as all FRS 2014s who opted for Bespoke, so checkout some bespoke threads.

I used to be able to see Pandora Track info on my 2013 FRS with standard head unit with my andriod phone via bluetooth. After I upgraded to 4.2.2 I lost that somehow. The built in music player still shows track info. I can also skip, play, pause etc... from the HU with pandora.

Yeah even if I just play from the media player I didn't have the ability to skip songs or see the song info, maybe its my phone, it is a newer phone though being a evo 4g lte.

It least the the HD is consistent because I actually play CDs and it shows song info but no album art.
