Slacker has a different icon, and now slacker has some of the same problems Iheart radio has been giving me. "The system is busy" and other fun errors that I spend clicking on navigation mouse as I drive through the traffic instead of being able to just listen to the choice.
Enform just updated last night and the same issues are still there with rebooting several times at start-up. Also Pandora app takes a little longer now to change tracks when skipping.

Never really used Enform as i don't have a need for it.
My question to you all that do use it, why not just use pandora on your phone and play it via bluetooth? Thats what I do with spotify. You can still change tracks via the steering wheel. What are the Pro's for using pandora via enform?

I usually have my phone in pocket, so pro's are, I don't need to take phone out if using enform, but lots of issues. I heart radio is cool to listen to radio stations from other areas..
I never actually tried spotify, even though it's bt driven, can you start/stop it from the car without touching the phone? That's why, even with 100 cons, the enform interface is better

Just got my renewal notice for Enform, did not want to continue to pay monthly fee for unreliable and glichty functionality on the apps, so did not renew. I use a dedicated iPod Nano for the car so play music directly from that. The only Enform service I used was destinations as the apps were too glichty to use reliably and easily while driving.

It would be the same process with spotify unless you were previously playing. Then it would pick up where you left off.

So no, (most of the time) you don't need to touch your phone to use pandora/iheartradio/slacker through enform.

But you do need to open the Enform app on your phone, correct?

I use Pandora through Enform every day. By using it through the app, I don't have to touch my phone and I can change the station through the nav display or the instrument cluster TFT and steering wheel controls.
