Why not just Bluetooth your Pandora app on your phone to the car? It's what I have done since I first got the C7 and never even looked or try to use the Pandora app on the car radio.

I ask because my 18 Malibu refused to allow the apps to be used over bluethooth even with bluethooth teathering enabled. This results in me having to use my phone as a hot spot.

I have an app called carspot to enable the hotspot automatically once the bluethooth connection has been made.
This doesn't seem to be a thing in any of the Corvette's, or at least any version that I have experience with. But my 2017 Camaro SS Fifty has an app you can download from the Mylink App Store and it required a wifi connection as explained in the below thread. I suspect your Malibu may have a similar MyLink version that requires the same.

There are many MyLink systems AFAICT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyLink). Seems clear that GM doesn't know a thing about such systems nor programming really. That's why they have not 1 nor 2 but 3 other companies. And it's clear they know nothing about versioning stuff and software developer. IOW they are all over the map. MyLink is a system with shitty voice recognition, no way to update apps let alone get apps, no way to update POI data, etc. It's a system that's dead on arrival. That's why AA is so great. It keeps getting better. I seriously don't know why people bother with that system. OK, I understand you're hardware deprived with the 14's and 15's but there are solutions, some fairly cheap. It is my #1 reason why I held out for my 16. And even then I had to wait for a firmware update...
