I just getting to know my '15 Tahoe LTZ and would love to know why the Pandora app always says there's no Internet Connection even though my phone is paired. The manual is terrible in any explanation.

Do I need to be running the app on my phone at the same time?? If so, that seems redundant but maybe I'm missing something.

It goes on automatic when you touch the icon, now I have to ask a question and please do not get offended. Which wireless company you use?

:hmmm2:

I've got AT&T. But Pandora does nothing when I press the touchscreen. I get a message on the Link screen saying that there is no internet connection. But yet my phone is paired with it and it has connectivity.

I went through the manual, through the menus and settings to no avail.

It works with my iPhone 6. However, when you press the icon on the truck you have to quickly press yes on the Pop Up allowing access on your phone screen. Best way to do it is to start the app on your phone 1st.

With my iPhone 5s the Pandora app on the touch screen only works when the phone is plugged in via USB. If I'm not plugged in to the USB port I can still stream Pandora over Bluetooth, but I have to control the music manually on my phone, and if I open the Pandora app on my Yukon then I get an error message. My understanding is that with an Android phone the Pandora app works without being connected via USB but iPhones need to be plugged in. It would be nice if I could just leave the phone in my pocket.

Exactly what Nord said. I couldn't figure it out either until someone told me my iPhone had to be connect via usb port in order to run Pandora through the Pandora app. Pandora will work just like Spotify, etc. if not plugged into the usb but to use the on screen app you must be plugged in with an iPhone.
