Default 2017 entertainment apps question

We have recently taken delivery of a 2017 prestige model. I was listening to Pandora through my iPhone today when my son-in-law suggested that it might be possible to download and install an app for Pandora (or other apps) directly on the entertainment system. Is that the case or does one only have the option of using apps on an iPhone/Android phone/iPad?

Thanks!

If you have an iPhone connected via USB, any app that is compatible with Apple Carplay will show under the "Carplay" interface of the Q7. Apple Music, obviously works, as do Amazon Music and recently Google Play. Amazon Music comes with Amazon Prime, so that was a nice value add from my perspective as I have Prime and therefore didn't have to subscribe to it as a separate fee-based service.

You can't add apps directly to the Q7.

Thanks. I will just have to figure out how to get to car play... I finally got into it last night, so I now know how I can do it. It was either with direct connect or through Bluetooth, but I did so much fiddling that I couldnt remember how I got it to work! Thanks
