Default Streaming music in a 2014 Q5 without navigation

Just purchased a 2014 Q5 without navigation and when I was told it had Bluetooth, assumed I'd be able to play music as well as make calls. When I picked up the car, I was told that's not the case. I have an iphone6s and would love advice on how to solve this problem. What connector provides the best quality audio? Any help is appreciated.

Also the connector the sales person showed me that I'm going to need to attach to is in the glovebox. If I have to buy an adaptor, How do I close the glovebox and keep my phone handy in the car?

It's a pain to hook up your phone directly through the AMI adapter in the glovebox. You'd have to run an extension out if you want to be able to use the phone still. I use the USB AMI adapter and plug a USB drive loaded with movies and music into it.

For bluetooth streaming without nav, there are several people using the ViseeO Tune2Air interface. That allows you to plug the bluetooth adapter into the AMI and use your phone normally.
