iphone 5 will not shuffle on bluetooth

My iPhone 5 and updated iPhone 4 connect fine to my 2013 Mazda CX-5 via bluetooth, but the shuffle and replay buttons are now grayed out (on the car radio). The iPhone 4 worked fine with ios 5, but nowI can only play songs alphabetically on both phones, whether I select the next song from the car radio or from the phone itself. FWIW operation is fine with the USB cable for both phones.

iPhone 5, iOS 6, Also iOS 6 iPhone 4

Press Voice Command button on steering wheel and Say "Shuffle All." That's it. Problem solved.

Works great, although on my car I need to leave a pregnant pause between "shuffle" and "all".

Only real downside is that I have to do this each time I start the car or switch back from radio, CD, etc.

Sure would be nice if either Apple and/or Mazda would do some updating the firmware/software.
