Is it possible to play the music from one's phone when hooked up via Bluetooth?

EDIT: I meant "is it possible to play..."
The title pretty much says it all: I have no aux / usb input on my 2006 stereo, but of course the bluetooth connectivity is still there...hence the question: could it be used to circumvent that limitation and play the music that's on one's phone? Or is it just restricted to phone calls?
Thanks for the info!!![Icon Worthy](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_worthy.gif)

I'm not a fan of using a Bovee 1000 Bluetooth adapter to play music that's on my phone. It's not integrated with the touchscreen, so you have to use your phone to change songs. That's a risky distraction while driving.
I use an old iPod Nano to play all my music because it's integrated with the touchscreen and steering wheel controls. It's a dedicated device that lives in the armrest compartment and recharges automatically while in use. Sure, it's ancient technology but it still works for me. Here's how I did it:

Many on this forum have installed relatively inexpensive aftermarket add-ons that allow streaming - Bovee and Old Jaguar Bluetooth Streaming Adapter (this I have). You can also go for the Chinese Tesla-like big screen replacement that many are drawn to - one version is called canavie I think - for much more than streaming, but also more expensive.
Do a search and you will find several threads on each of these, and perhaps more.

The Bluetooth built into the infotainment system supports phone connectivity only - I think the Bluetooth version available at that time may not have supported music streaming, or Jaguar chose to install a lesser version.

I can't speak about the Bovee.

That's where playlists come in handy. At the start of a drive, I select one of the many playlists on my iPhone, one that I've created or one that the iPhone creates, and don't touch the phone after that. No need to fiddle with song selection.

Can’t you tell Siri to change tracks or playlists?

Once again, we (including me) have begun to wander off-topic.
To my mind this is OK IF we have answered the question or dealt with the issue posed by the OP. So, George, have we given you enough information to answer your question? I certainly have plenty to say about technology and privacy but don't want to add to this thread unless we're done with your issue.
TIA.
