Is there a way to play music from my iPhone without using Bluetooth?

I am trying to play "lossless" music on my B&W stereo from Tidal using Apple CarPlay

I noticed the default is to play the music via Bluetooth

I tried to play via my charger -- both the USB and MicroUSB (the charger in the center console).

Am I missing a setting?

I could look to get a hard drive or memory stick with high-quality files but would like the freedom to stream high-quality music as well.

Thoughts?

I just finished watching a couple of 2019 X5 videos and both stated it is only possible via Bluetooth. One mentioned that this sorta future proofs the hardware design in that BMW will no longer have to be concerned when Apple, or in the future, Android devices get a physical connector shape design change.
