Enform App Suite: Slacker vs Pandora vs iHeart

I really hope we get TuneIn radio in the future. It's my favorite by far, is 100% free, has different quality streams you can choose from and has a great app on both kinds of phones. I always mention it in the Lexus Advisory Board surveys, so hopefully one day they will expand the music app selection.

Another discovery here to note,
The volume always goes back to 22 on Slacker via Enform, where as the other audio sources recall your last volume setting. Not sure why or if this can be changed via settings. Not a huge deal as I always am changing volume while driving it seems.
I have been using the Slacker Station based on my favorites now, this option seemed to pop up for me after I selected a few favorites. It works pretty darn good playing all kinds of other music that I can dig!
Still get glitches from time to time, perhaps this is normal though and cannot be avoided..

I love Pandora...
...but just in past few days I've finally got a clue and stopped using the Enform app, because it SUCKS compared to simply streaming from my iPhone 5 via BT. I think I've had less trouble than many others, but there are just too many delays or failures of the app to load. BT streaming just works. If you tend to change Pandora stations a lot the app is still probably better, but if you tend to listen to one station during the day it's a lot more trouble than it's worth.

Your method may require using your phone to change settings, but it may be the way of my future! Thinking if I could just use BT and get a similar experience, why would I pay to extend the Enform subscription after it runs out? Its not that cheap for what it does really... sorry to say Lexus!

For those on Android getting pauses or skipping with Bluetooth audio (and via Enform) try disabling wifi. I've noticed my HTC is always looking for wifi access points and if I pass a strong enough signal it will interfere with bluetooth.
