I installed the Pandora App on my iPhone.

I use Pandora with BT not the USB Sync

1) start Pandora on iPhone
2) Tap the Sync listen Button on the wheel
3) Say "Blue Tooth Audio"
4) It will start playing

It works...I use it every day. Just about EVERY app that plays music (Pandora, Tunein Radio, Rdio, iheartradio, etc.) Output to bluetooth or USB. USB shows track info and Metadata. Bluetooth doesn't (at least with the standard radio I know it doesn't).

Ive done this but now Ford has built in Pandora... There is a cool video on that link I posted on how it works.

But the bluetooth is an alternative.

Haven't read through it but do you have to have XM or some sort of paid satelite stuff? I didn't renew anything for my truck like XM so will it still work for mine?

Maybe the new MyTouch has the app built in, but you still need the data connection. Which is where your bluetooth pairing comes into play. The app is just a front for the stream.
