Ok, been playing with the WIFI settings and my iPhone. Problem is while it attempts to connect to the car it never seems to connect properly. I can see the phone registered under WIFI and you can see the car scanning through the media of the phone, it can't actually play anything. Probably Apple blocking such access...
Anyways, i "borrowed" my Wife's Samsung S3 Galaxy running Android and Success straightaway!!!
I copied an episode of Big Bang Theory (Mp4) version to the S3 and installed Pixel Media Server (Free) from the play store.
I've uploaded a video from my iphone to Youtube, so sorry about the quality and shaking ... need more than 2 hands
