Adding Combox w/Android phone do I get apps/pandora?

I have a 2011 with usb/bluetooth but no combox. If i upgrade to combox and apps, will I get Pandora and art on screen with android phone or only iPhone?

if you have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and LG Nexus 4/5 and BMW Connected app for android it should work. BTW you'll need to use USB cable or snap-in adapter.

theres a lot of topics on this already bud. you can't get bmw apps for android. They keep saying they will but they (bmw) never do. I use an ipod touch, have my s4 (using tasker) auto start tethering when bluetooth connects to car. So its ipodtouch>android tether>internet. All apps work, jut smake sure you set VPN up on your idevice and install the US version of bmw apps. Then you'll have pandora, stitcher etc.
