Default Help with Pandora

I am having a issue using pandora thru my iphone6 on my bike. When I run it thru the usb port of my radio my phone screen goes black with 2 arrows and the name pandora accessory. It will play pandora but I can not see my stations. If I run Iheart or my itunes it shows up fine and I can change stations etc. I have a Sony MEX70-m70bt with a biketronics retro radio kit. I have tried running it thru the sony app on my phone as well with same results. Any idea what is wrong?

Mine does the same thing as well, however the song name scrolls on the Sony radio screen.

My Sony does the same. It was enough of a hassle that I quit using it all together.

Well that sucks lol. I wish I knew that before switching out the stock head unit. I use it all the time I guess I'll just have to unplug it to change stations. Thanks guys for your help

Have you tried it through bluetooth? It'll work like that but sound quality suffers just a tad.
