This exclusive perk is available to you at no additional charge through the rest of 2013 and works automatically each time you use Pandora through SYNC AppLink. Follow the instructions below to get started with Pandora and SYNC AppLink.
Please note: Although the ad-free listening program for SYNC AppLink users is similar to Pandora's ad-free, premium subscription service, Pandora One, the listening program does not function as a Pandora One subscription.
