Not good news for iPhone 5 / iOS6...

Pandora works fine on iPhone 5 and iOS 6. Actually better than on iOS 5. I plugged in my iPhone 5 and pandora button on the ogm1 became ungreyed out. I pushed it and bam I was in pushed station list and it was working, didn't have to start the app from the iPhone. Oh it also retains iPhone 5 controls.

I upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 and I am not having any issues with Bluetooth or Pandora with the OGM1.

BTW, you can download YouTube through the AppStore if you want it back. I do agree that Google maps are better than Apple Maps though.

It does suck that they took video out of the lightening adaptor. Wouldn't you consider that a step backwards?

After the upgrade my Pandora button on the radio no longer works, I have to start the app with the phone.

ATTN KENWOOD OWNERS:

After testing the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 for over a week, Kenwood, like some other car radio makers, said it found issues with its car head units and is offering some temporary solutions:

Kenwood said the Apple iOS 6 update for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S has created compatibility issues due to changes to Bluetooth protocol used by Apple. The change has caused streaming audio problems over Bluetooth when used with some Kenwood receivers.

These iOS 6 problems with Bluetooth streaming are:

Intermittent auto connect, and random disconnects
Loss of streaming audio connection on some models
Loss of play/pause control and music ID information on some models

For now, Kenwood recommends using a wired connection to the phone. It also recommends that iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S owners refrain from updating their operating system to iOS 6 until a Kenwood software update is made available.

Testing with the iPhone 5, which no longer provides analog audio or video output through the multi-pin connector, does not affect operation with Kenwood CD-receivers as they have always supported the digital audio output from the iPhone or iPod.

Because Kenwood A/V receivers do not support digital audio and video input, we are currently unable to test this feature until Apple delivers the new Lightning-to-30 pin connector in October.
