personalize instrument cluster

binko · 12-31-2013, 02:08 PM

Does anyone know if I can set the LCD instrument cluster to show the sport mode layout while in touring mode?
Secondly, I am unable to get Pandora to work. It shows that I have no internet hook-up yet my iphone is fully sync'd and works for phone calls thru the bluetooth.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, in the settings, you can tell it to no synch up with the mode you're in.

For Pandora, make sure your iPhone is paired with the car. Then open up the Pandora app on your phone and you should be all set.

Thank you Steven Bell. I did find how to get the SPORT cluster to show at all times. I would like to be able to show trip data and fuel economy in the center section while in the sport display. Is that doable?
I did get Pandora going however only when I plugged the iphone cable into the USB port. I would think that it would be available without direct wire via bluetooth????

negative on the Pandora thru Blue tooth. In every car that I have had it needed to have a hardline to connect...enjoy

I also have a 2013 Accord. That does Pandora thru Bluetooth.
Strange-$25,000 Accord does it yet the $60,000 corvette does not.

Thanks for the reply!!!!!

Pandora works via Bluetooth once the phone is paired to the vehicle. You just need to make sure the app is installed on your phone.

Binko, you can indeed get the trip/fuel info with the Sport display - that's how I usually run. Hit the left button on the d-pad, which calls up the main menu on the gage screen. Scroll and select Info, then accept. The trip & fuel info will appear in the center of the Sport display's tach. You can then scroll up or diwn for the various bits of info you want.

seriously, the manuals suck for this car esp the dash features....more accomplished by taking a six pack to the car and going thru every menu tree you can find and pushing everything...it really is easy after you play with it...

Thanks PurpleRac3R.
You're right, I got it done. Is there a way I can show Inst Fuel Economy, Average Fuel Economy and Trip A Distance all at once.
The other thing that has me puzzled is that I can not do Pandora unless I have my iphone connected by wire into a USB port. My buddy has a Cadillac SRX with what appears to be a very similar setup that does allow music to go wireless thru Bluetooth.

From what I've read in the manual, Pandora will only work when you are attached via the USB cable on Apple devices. Droid devices allow Bluetooth streaming.

purpleRac3r · 01-01-2014, 09:14 AM

Sadly, no, there's no way I've found to combine features in the center of the display. You can change the "pocket" gages to the sides of the tach, but not combine anything. As its all just programming, I hope the aftermarket steps up and develops more flexibility into the display.

As for the Bluetooth issue, its possible for there to be an obscure setting in your phone that needs to change, or a software update that needs to be installed, either for the phone itself, or Pandora. While I have an Android device, I too can get Pandora to play via Bluetooth. Maybe you have an older model of iPhone?

I have an iphone and wether in my 2011 lexus, 2013 Cadillac ATS it will only work in tethered mode.I think you hit the nail on the head here iphone tethered, android you can do bluetooth. It might have something to do with Iphone you cannot hit the inet while on the phone type of thing?

binko · 01-01-2014, 11:08 AM

I also have a 2013 Accord and that will stream music from my iphone to Pandora on the car's radio via bluetooth.

Maybe this will help you- I have found it to be more useful than the manual....I hope attachment works okay....I printed it and carry it in the car-
