Default Streaming BT not working corectly (iPhone4)

I'm having an issue (actually since I've owned my truck) streaming BT audio. My iPhone4 syncs with the uconnect and works perfect with phone calls, however when I try to stream BT audio (like Pandora), it sounds like the music is in fast forward or like a skipping CD. As usual my dealership is NO help what-so-ever and basically told me I'm lucky that it's my only option and that I can make phone calls successfully. Wow, REALLY?!?!

If any of you have a clue what the problem is I'd love to hear it.

My iPhone 4 music streams fine with the music files on it.

If you are trying to stream 3G to the phone and then back over BT the iPhone may simply be running out of processor. Of course live streaming anything to the phone in a moving car is spotty as best as well.

When I attempt to stream any audio, whether a music file or pandora, the result is the same- music played thru speakers sounds like its skipping. When I shut switch source in the iphone from U-Connect to Phone, it plays fine, but the moment I switch back to U Connect same thing.

I havent tried live streaming from Pandora or something like that but for sure streaming the music on the iphone streams perfect. The track back/forward is a little laggy at times but the music plays fine on the road. Even if I leave the phone in the house it will stream off it.

I have a completely different radio though

Dodge has some sort of patch specifically for the iphone 4, just got my upgrade disc thing in the mail the other day. I forget where I found the link to order it - believe I came across it on an actual Dodge site. I'll try and dig it back up and post. I'm not saying it'll fix your problems, but it may help!!
