Listening to car audio using bluetooth headset rather than car speakers

There are times when I wish to drive in silence, but a passenger would like to listen to something from the car audio system (radio, Sirius, cd, music register). Is it possible to use the car's bluetooth feature to direct the audio output to a bluetooth headset, rather than to the car's speakers? Thank you.

Thanks, but there are some things available on the car audio that aren't available from an iPad, such as a Sirius program, an audiobook loaded on the car's music register, etc.

It would be a nice option if the car had a headphone jack in which you could plug in a wired headset, but as far as I know that is not possible , so I asked the question about a Bluetooth headset.

If you are willing to wear a BT headset, why not just turn the BT on your phone off and use some quality ear buds to play your music? I am not 100% sure but with your phone paired to the car I cannot see how you can be selective. The drawback of course is all the selection would have to be made on the phone.
I am not aware that you can play the radio, the register or Sirius simultaneously. Thinking about how you select a device it would not seem possnile
