KMS Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Running a 149bt with an Ipad Mini 2. Whenever I connect the USB into the ipad I'm only able to control pandora via the headunit. I'd like to be able to use the ipad as the main source for selecting my pandora music if possible. Is there a settings for this somewhere to change it from headunit to the apple device? My android phone also does this via bluetooth. The device screens go into a black screen with white text with the alpine logo mentioning something about connected. Can't really remember what it's saying on the screen at the moment. Alpine PDX-V9 Morel Tempo 6 Alpine SBR-S8-4 Alpine CDE 149BT
poorfish88 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 I don't see it listed as compatible on Alpines page?
TRON Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 My kenwood has a setting where you hold down the "ipod" button for a few seconds and it switches between controling from the head unit to the device.

Mine does to if you hook a compatible one to it. Alpine manual doesn't list it as one, hope it works for him.
ghostlyrich Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 this is why i hate alpine head units so much i had the same problem with the 148 mate. if i were you maybe see about swapping the head unit out for a pioneer prs series they are much nicer deck from installing experience. 80prs is nice one for about the same cost and i prefer it allot more. That tune it app frome alpine drove me up with wall when trying to help a friend use it.

Blue Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 What I do with my Deck for pandora/slacker/music on phone is just put the head unit in BT audio mode. Can control it through my phone instead of through the deck. Much easier that way for me to do than go through the pandora section when i want to listen to pandora. formerly known as Blue86f150 its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies. Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive this sux camel dicks

KMS Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Posted May 18, 2014 Are you actually using the ipod connection and cable or the usb input Usb from ipad to usb input on the desk, using the pandora source on the headunit, with app selection set to usb instead of bluetooth in the settings.

I had two kenwoods which had the knobs for everything. Going through the menus took a lot of time. I don't know if Pioneer is any faster. Plus, the Alpines looks a lot cleaner imho.
