Apps like I-Heart radio will stream audio over blue tooth.
First select "Entertainment" via the touch screen. If your phone is paired with the car it should be listed as one of the audio sources. (AM, FM, SiriusXM, USB, Your phone) If your phone isn't listed it may not have paired with the car via blue tooth. Other options are to plug it into the USB port. Start up the I-Heart app on your phone. You should be able to hear I heart now.
 
When I do this, I Heart plays, but the last played song from iTunes on my phone shows on the screen!

I asked a Ford Bluetooth engineer about this at a recent Ford Survey experience. She said the agrements with APple may prevent the proper info getting from the iphone to the car. Apple is very specific about what info can be shared.

She said they're still trying to get Apple to release more control. Currently there are a number of issues with iPhone 5s and FFEs.
