And can you answer some basic #%&*#% questions for me?

(Bonus points if you have an android phone!)

I'm a computer programmer, with mobile development experience and I can't decipher based on their documentation if the UConnect system does or doesn't let me do a few things.

Android owner and I've driven uconnect enabled Darts and Challengers. What's up

Can I plug my android device into uConnect and play pandora/google music and use any sort of on screen tools to listen? (IE Can I skip forward and backwards without picking up my phone?) iPhones make it slick apparently but be damned if anyone will tell me that works with Android.

It seemed to work that way w/ Spotify on my 13 Dart with the controls on the wheel

I wonder if one of our rental Darts has it. I doubt it. But my android always works with Bluetooth as far as playing, pausing, and skipping songs via the built in music app. Pandora, not so much, unless it comes with the uConnect.... like our Mazdas do.

Was definitely able to play Pandora. Can't remember if I used the forward/back buttons though. Is there a dealer nearby you can try it out at?

I'm about to get a '14 Jeep GC, so I've test driven one quite a few times. I found that after connecting my Samsung GS3 via bluetooth, I was able to stream any music I was playing directly from my phone. Most of the time whatever service you use (Google music, pandora, spotify, etc.) will display song metadata. And it DOES allow you to advance the track and go back from the steering wheel controls. I'm sure the mileage varies according to the type of android phone, but I had no problems connecting and playing anything. Hope that helps!
