    Using Your Smartphone with the stock Winnie "RV Radio".

    Bill, How do you get the music from the Droid with Pandora App to flow thru the RV Radio. Do I need to set my Droid to another setting. I do have it connected with a 3.5mm to RCA adapter and the radio is set to the AUX 1 channel. Thanks, 1Sammiedog
