Oh, and I really only used the BMW Apps app (international radio and RSS feeds) and not Pandora yet in the car (not sure if your comment was about Pandora specifically or BMW App in general).

Not sure if sw version and/or model year makes a difference. Well, sw version probably does.
Sorry, I think I misunderstood your original question. Yes if your car has BMW Apps then you can control Pandora through the idrive controller and steering wheel controls.

If you see "BMW Connected Drive" on the main menu of the iDrive then the car has BMW Apps option.

Hoa's post is right on and you can access the Pandora through the "Radio" button (similar to how you access the "Web Radio" portion of BMW Connected Drive App).

You have to go to your phone to switch between BMW Connected Drive App and the Pandora because unfortunately Pandora is not integrated the way the RSS feeds and Web Radio are.

One last thing to check is whether you have Pandora updated to the latest version.
