[Shake n Bake]

Collected my Jun'13 520 m-sport F11 prof nav today and duly went home to urinate over the tyres of my 2011 520 SE f11 prof nav (it's going on Monday)

Impressed by the improved ride. Liking the animated menu features etc

Now, music is not my thing. 99% of the time I am in the car alone I am listening to podcasts.

In the old car it really struggled to identify podcasts on my iPhone 5 so I used a 3rd party app and whilst I couldn't control it thru the prof media it would play just fine if controlled from the car (when stationary, naturally).

New car didn't like that. Played 2 seconds then reverted to the music that is on the phone.

No problem thinks I, I can see the prof media interface has been upgraded and podcasts (& audiobooks) are now a selectable menu item. I will go download the apple podcast app and away I go.

Back in the car, now I have the official app and a bunch of downloaded podcasts. In keen anticipation I select Podcasts, select one of my favourites, pick an episode and away we go......

For 4 seconds. Then it skips to the next episode. Again for 4 seconds.

I exit that folder, return to another folder and pick a new podcast. Same thing although about 6 seconds each time on this other one.
Try a third. Same.

I unplug the USB cord and play the podcast thru the phone to see if it's the phone. Nope. All good.

Restart phone. Same problem.

Go to music. Plays perfectly fine.

Anyone seen this before and fixed it?

Like I said, I spend all of my drives listening to podcasts. This car is not fit-for-purpose without that ability so it's a big deal for me.

Appreciate the help. Thanks.
