Hi everyone!
I'm just jumping in with a little more info. Make sure your USB is at least 2GB and formatted to FAT32. Download the update to your desktop and then unzip it. If you add the zip file to your USB, SYNC will give you an error. If the in-vehicle install doesn't automatically start, you can manually start it by pressing the following:
PHONE > Scroll to SYSTEM SETTINGS > OK > Scroll to ADVANCED > OK > Scroll to INSTALL APPS > OK
As always, if you're having any issues, please don't hesitate to send me a PM with the details and your VIN.

The problem I am having is I used to be able to see the artist and song and now it says "unknown" on both.

Ok, here is what happened when I got off work. When I started my car Pandora automatically started to play on the radio without me having to do anything. The artist and songs at that time said "unknown". I then manually load Pandora using phone> mobile apps> Pandora. Now it tells me the artist and song.
So when sync automatically starts Pandora the artist and song is "unknown" but when I manually load the app I get the artist and song.
Any suggestions?

When you first entered the vehicle Bluetooth audio detected your device and began playing, but once you selected Pandora through the menu it switched to AppLink which properly displays that information.
