Yes, the problem is not the Pandora software but the Parrot bluetooth sofware.  We spoke with Kenwood about it on 10-8-12 and they said its intermittent and they know about the problem.  There is also a problem with HF connect.  Sometimes you need to turn off&On the bluetooth on the phone to get it to connect.  The audio seems to connect everytime with the new 4.0 software.
