Red face Media interface won't play tracks properly on iphone5

Have a w205 and this week, I notice the media interface will not play music tracks properly from my iphone 5. It sees the device and tracks but will only play current selected track, if I scroll or swipe to the next or previous nothing happens. There are other issues if I try to select tracks from the list.
Sometimes it says there are no playable files!

I have removed all tracks and reinstalled on the device but still the same.

Anyone got any ideas? Before I get it to a MB dealer, could do with knowing if it's definately a phone problem or software in the module?

Many thanks for any help

Oddly since a recent update my iPod will only play the selected track rather than the album. I can correct it by switching between linear and random track playback.

I mentioned this in a thread called iPod issues

I can't play anything from my iPhone 5s through the USB.
It says No playable files found or something like that.

It used to display the cover art and track name, artist, and album.
It used to work with Spotify and the Music app, but after I got my car back from the Collision Center, my can only work through Bluetooth. The Weird thing is my 160GB iPod Classic works via USB.

^ Is this the issue that are talking about?

Hi xzer0 yes it sounds very similar to my problem, It seemed to start this week after I selected 'select by album cover' when it had almost finished loading up the artworks, the probs started. By coincidence this was the first time I'd used the iPhone since it had its latest iOS update, which installs apples new music service and one of the things it no longer does is display all albums by artwork on the phone...too much of a coincidence I think but strange that the iPad works fine.
