I am not able to play music in car via USB cable. It just connects over and over again and doesn't even charge. Any solutions?

Hi All,
I just got the phone and love it but would like to be able to play my music from my SD card over my stereo without having to mount it as a usb drive, basically be able to use the usb plug to charge and carry audio over and being able to control it from the phone not the stereo itself.
When I had my iPhone I was able to put it in "iPod by hand mode" which would let me switch songs via the phone and not the stereo controls and I could also play Pandora over it as well and I would love to have this functionality back.
Thanks!
Is there a method for redirecting audio from a streaming music player (Spotify, IheartRadio, etc.) to play through the USB port instead of the headphone jack on the HTC One S? I primarily play music through my car stereo and would prefer to use the USB connection instead of the AUX port since I would be able to charge my phone while listening using only 1 cable. This method works fine if I want to mount the SD card and listen to the music stored on my phone but I don't believe it works for streaming audio.
There was an app called SoundRedirector that was built for the Samsung Galaxy S that did this when it was docked in the OEM car mount.
Thanks
So I just purchased a GROM Audio Honda Acura 03+ USB Android iPod Bluetooth AUX adapter( SKU: HON1U3 )
http://www.gromaudio.com/store/usb_...uetooth_adapter_direct_digital_interface.html
With both the Bluetooth and USB AUX adapter it came to a pricey $229.96. What I got for that price is:
Bluetooth media and headphone profiles
USB out via AALinQ Car Music Player
OK Google Hotword still works
Con's:
You have to load your media into the AALinQ application to get it to play via USB, that means no Google Play music over USB, and all system sounds aren't automatically sent to the USB audio like with the Note 3 and previous Galaxy devices.
You don't get track titles etc via Bluetooth at least with my Note 4 on my '08 Acura MDX and the GROM connected to my XM 2 Sat input on the stock head unit.
I'm getting a weird slight crackle when audio stops and starts playing via Bluetooth, I think this is because the Grom adapter is connecting and disconnecting USB audio to the head unit, I got the same crackle when connecting my MHL USB audio connector when the car head unit was on.
Pro's:
The nice thing is that unlike a dedicated MHL USB connector which is the other way to get USB audio out on the Note 4 you aren't blocking your microphone while connected
You are charging. which I hadn't got working with USB to MHL.
Just thought this might be useful to those of us who don't have A2DP built into our car stereo's. GROM is compatible with hundreds and hundreds of vehicles, just use the Browse by auto make selector at http://www.gromaudio.com/index.html
I don't work for GROM, I paid for my unit myself, wanted to share what worked for me in case it helps one of you.
Oh and according to their FAQ the charge you're getting is 1A 5V http://www.gromaudio.com/support/usb-faq.html
Can I plugged my iPhone through USB to play music or I have to use Bluetooth?
Is there an app, music player or otherwise, than can play from another device plugged into the 3.5mm socket?
BACKGROUND: Have an Android head unit in my car with an AUX in port. Want to plug my phone into this and play via the stereo. The AUX control app preinstalled is terrible hence the need for something else.
