So, after some experimentation with a 4s, 5s, and a 6(all running iOS 8.x), it seems if you disable the "show all music" setting under settings->music the device(basically getting rid of all icloud songs not downloaded to the device) the browse, search and controls all work just fine. So Uconnect, you just need to make it work with cataloged songs on the device regardless if they are local to the device or not......
