IOS 7 and MB

I'm sorry if I'm repeating a question, but I don't seem to find it. Has Apple IOS 7 for iPhone 5 resolved any issues, such as transferring contacts or streaming music via BT?
Although I hand not tried it, I do have an iPhone 4 connector in my glove box. Would an iPhone 5 converter allow me to stream Spotify that way, or is it only iTunes? What about the new iTunes Radio? Does it stream?

Thank you

I bought myself a little adapter that does BT streaming and have been happy ever since. Buy yourself this and you'll be good to go: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ViseeO-Tune2air-WMA1000-Bluetooth-Music-Streaming-With-North-America-Warranty-/131010041815?pt=US_Other_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item1e80ce97d7
- You need an adapter like that or the MIP ($200+ and it doesn't even work with the iPhone 5) to do BT streaming.
- iPhone 5 30pin converter will allow you to play music stored on iphone (not from apps such as pandora/spotify) with the connector in the glove box.
- I cannot comment on iTunes radio, but i could try it out later and let you know.

P.S I have a 4S with IOS 7 and it works perfectly fine, phone never leaves my pocket and it starts music instantly/pauses instantly when entering/leaving, so you don't miss a beat.

In '12+ cars with media interface, a 30pin to lightning (iphone 5) adapter works well for songs on your phone, but it does not work well with Spotify, it's slow to react, and track information doesn't always update. Haven't tried iOS7 yet though.

iOS7 works fine in my '12 Coupe, I have the 30 pin to lightning adaptor connected to it. I did notice that now I can't stream audio from the youtube app any more like how it was in iOS6. Pandora works fine though.
