Yes.. you just sync the phone to the headunit. Switch the headunit to the bluetooth option and then stream from your phone. Its in the huge manual that was provided.

I'm pretty pleased with the FR-S stock unit in this regards. It stops the music/podcast on the phone when you turn the car off, and resumes where you left off when you get back in. You can also pause, skip and fast forward (etc) with the head unit.

Make sure to test the different apps before you go driving. One of my music apps allows full functionality, while another is limited to only skipping ahead.

Pandora only allows for skipping ahead, but other music streaming services might work better. Haven't tried any other services yet.

Been doing that since the day I've picked up the phone. So much easier now that I don't have to plug in any cables. Everything on my car is keyless/cableless!

Android 4.2 has been giving me problems with BT connections. It randomly fails to connect and I have to restart the phone. Anyone else having these issues.
