Pandora - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sorry if this has already been addressed as I could not find anything useful in the search function. I just purchased a 2013 ZL1 and have been trying to figure out the MyLink system. Nonetheless, I finally figured out how to pair my Iphone and got it working, however, the Pandora function has me a bit confused. The Pandora icon on my radio does not work but for some reason Pandora works without a cable through Internet Radio (I think that is what it is called).

In my new Corvette, Pandora requires that you have your iPhone connected via a cable. Also, it comes up on the screen with the album cover and other info. I like the fact that I do not have to have a cable on the ZL1 but would like to know why the Pandora icon does not work and why none of the song info shows on the MyLink screen.

Also, what is Sticher (I might have that wrong) radio. That icon also does not work. Any help in these matters would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Thanks, that helped a little but I'm still wondering about the Pandora icon and what Stitcher radio is. Thanks again.

Yeah, I'm not a lot of help in this area. Mine is a 2012 so no experience.

Hope you get it figured out.

Are you connected by Bluetooth to your phone? My 15 will Bluetooth with my phone, and when I tap the Pandora icon on MyLink it streams it from my phone with album art and everything. Stitcher is another music streaming service, I don't use it so I know nothing about it. Hope that helps

Very interesting! If I connect with a cable I get all the Pandora info and it sounds great. I think the icon is even lit. With no cable, Pandora plays but is at a lower volume and I get none of the Pandora info. However, if I plug the cable in and pull it out, Bluetooth works and I even get all the Pandora info on the screen. I can flip forward to other songs and everything. This system is very confusing. In the Bluetooth mode, sometimes things work and sometimes not. It is evident that I can get all the Pandora features in Bluetooth mode but it appears that the phone first has to be plugged in.

Anyone else experience similar issues and have you figured out how to work around it. I'd like to figure out how to get all the Pandora features in Bluetooth mode especially since the phone really does not fit very well in the console storage area.

I'd like to thank all of you for your responses.

Mine would freeze on the screen but keep playing music, I would have to shut the car off open the door and restart to fix it. I was planning on taking it but never got around to it. Only happened 2-3 times. Also if the volume is down check that it is maxed out on your phone when in Bluetooth. Aux cable default is max volume but Bluetooth is whatever the volume was last at.

Likely just another glitch. That phone was released after the radio.
