      Purchased a 2017 Silverado LTZ last week. It has the IO6 (w/Navigation) head unit. When I was at the dealer the radio was in ‘demo’ mode. I’m pretty sure it showed a dedicated Pandora Radio App.
      However, now that app is not on the screen and not available through the “Buy Apps” app. I have enabled and implemented Android Auto which works fine with ‘Projection app” and I can access my Android app on my Android phone.

      However, I would like to have the dedicated Android app available when I am not in Android Auto mode.

      Can anyone help me get that Pandora app installed again?

      I also have a 2017 GMC Sierra and it doesn’t have a Pandora app either. I can play Pandora through the bluetooth link but it only gives me limited playback options and no pandora menu , if i want to see the art or thumbs up or down then i have to be connected to android auto .You would think that we should be able to download an app from the shop feature but it only has 3 useless apps .If you or anyone knows how we can add this Pandora app so we can use pandora without having to have our Phones plugged in please let us know other wise i will unlock the radio.

      Pandora on MyLink is not a standalone app. It is used to access Pandora on your smart phone–either Android or iPhone. Before you can access Pandora, you must first download the Pandora app for your phone and then set it up there. The Getting to Know Your {New Vehicle} brochure will show you how to set it up. For my car, this is a 16-page document. For reasons that escape me, my 421-page Owners Manual does not address the individual MyLink apps. If you don’t have the brochure in hardcopy, then you may download the PDF version from your vehicle’s website. Once setup, MyLink should work with your Pandora account if it is paired with your phone by either BlueTooth or connected via USB.

      Pandora is an available standalone app now (June 2018). There are a few others that will stream music/info using wifi connectivity or hotspot.
