DUDE! YOU EFFIN ROCK!
I was seriously so mad that I had to use an AUX cable AND connect my phone via USB in my Civic in order to stream music via SoundCloud & Spotify (if I wanted to listen & charge simultaneously), especially because I have been through SO MANY AUX cables, cause they all seem to stop working in 6 months.
Today, my 5th AUX cable decided it would stop working properly and only play music out of the passenger-side speakers. I'm glad I decided to dig a little deeper online to find out if there was any sort of workaround/fix for the USB issue, and my search lead me here.
I signed up for Apple Music, downloaded one song, then let it play for a minute. I then opened Spotify, and much to my surprise, IT WORKED! For once my head unit display said something other than 'iPod NO SONG'.
TL; DR: THIS WORKS! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!!!!
Oh, and in case this may help: this worked with my iPhone 6s in my 2010 Honda Civic.

"No song" - can't play Pandora or Amazon Music or other online service...
I had this exact problem with my Iphone 5s after I removed all of the U2 songs iTunes downloaded to my phone - they were the only songs I stored on the phone - and having no songs apparently is the problem.
The phone apparently needs at least 1 song stored on it, or it confuses the car system. I added 1 free song from iTunes and I can again play Pandora through the car system with all the normal functionality.
Too bad it took 2 weeks of searching, booting, rebooting and struggling to figure this out.
This worked on 2012 Honda Accord with my iPhone 5s connected via USB connection. IOS 9.3.2
FINALLY all is back to normal.
And I get it - it's not an iPhone 6, but after struggling for so long and finding no help anywhere, maybe this will work on iPhone 6 as well - the issue sounds similar.
