how to play music without knob using my phone

hi there my c63 that i bought a few days ago, the dealer told me the knob which u use for the control of the screen is broken and will fix it for me when it ships in in a few days. without the knob i cannot press the option to connect to a bluetooth device so is there a way to play music with my phone without using the knob at all for example using a usb. ive tried so many things and nothing
its a 2009 screen btw

2009 (certainly the Aus version) does not have bluetooth for music - only phone.

There is a usb port in the glove box but once again you will need the rotary command control to use it.

To bluetooth music via phone you will need to buy a bluethooth to usb dongle. They work well save that track names do not appear on screen but you can control volume and track forward/back.

This applies to Android - I have no idea what can be done with Apple on a cable.

Do you have the 30 pin Apple connection in the Glovebox? If so there are some adapters that allow Bluetooth Music. I can control via steering wheel and see song titles in my dash with my 2009 this way.
