Streaming Pandora and the track/volume information

I'm glad that I've been able to enjoy streaming bluetooth audio, it has been great. I do have a question and I'm hoping you guys will know the answer. I have a Blackberry Curve 9330 and while streaming Pandora the iDrive doesn't display the track information or any other information on the screen. I can skip tracks but that's about it. What could be the problem here?

Thanks!

Since nobody knows I though I'd share:

In order for the iDrive to display metadata the phone needs to have AVRCP v1.3 (Audio Video Remote Control Profile). AVRCP v1.0 does not support the track titles and other metadata. So even though my BBerry 9330 does have AVRCP it only has the v1.0 of it. No help there. Does anyone know how I can go about to upgrade the AVRCP to v1.3?

UPDATE: BBerry Curve 9330 has AVRCP 1.3 as it turns out, it displays track info when I play tracks from the phone player but not when I'm streaming Pandora, any ideas?

^ do you have the new or old idrive?

While we're on topic, is streaming Pandora on the old idrive as simple as playing it on the smartphone via bluetooth? Or is another option the AUX-IN? Don't have smartphone integration option but AUX is there.

Old iDrive requires the Aux-In. I used that combo with iheartradio on my iphone on a long trip. Allowed me to listen to my local sports talk radio station.
