Yes the Grom Bluetooth (with microphone) was put into the car - I presume it will run any android app (pandora included - although I stream directly from my Synology server, in the house via Synology Audio station app) to the phone to the Grom to the car radio - for sound output to the radio and microphone input to the phone...

I'm no expert but I think the steering wheel bluetooth button is signaling (with a unique identifier) on the CAN (Controller Area Network) in the car to any device that is programmed to pick it up to respond ie the Grom or the OEM Bluetooth - to me ...its Magical hocus pokus!
