Smile Android apps and bluetooth

Howdy all.

Just picked up my new S60 last night and so far I'm loving it. My first Volvo so I have high hopes. I do have a question though. Is it possible to play apps like Sirius or Pandora via the bluthooth in the car? I see that you can stream MP3s but didn't see anything about music apps. I'm aware that I can use the AUX port but hate having the cable hanging out. Thanks in advance.

What year is your S60? I installed a Grom audio kit in my car. It gives me Bluetooth connectivity. I can take calls or listen to music wirelessly. They also have a USB connector for Androids. It charges and transmits music too. That may be an option. It isn't seamless, but it works well.

It is a 2013. I just find it odd that the car will scan my phone and find all of the MP3s, but I haven't been able to run a music app through it.

Default see inside.

I think what you are looking for starts on page 217 but I when connected via bluetooth I would go to you music app and play from your device and it should play through your radio. FYI it also has a guide on sirus radio. Hope that helps.

Nope. I tried that and nothing. Thanks anyway.
