However, I still dont quite understand what the bluetooth does... I know
phones have that. Even my old flip phone, but how that has anything to
do with music is beyond me. If those car stereos have USB and the
ability to play music directly from a flash drive, that's all I need.
Heck, a 16GB flash drive holds over 5 times more music than my 3GB MP3
player.

Bluetooth is just a wireless communication technology. I have a radio
that takes a USB directly but I'm too lazy to replace the factory radio
with it. The factory one has an aux port on the console so I plug in the
MP3 player. The only downside is having to provide power to the player
and turn it off manually.

I haven't looked at car radios since I bought the USB model in 2007 but
many were iPod specific which ****ed me off since I don't do Apple. I
think the one I have also has a 8GB limit on the USB. That was a big
stick back then.
