It turns out if your car radio has a jack in the back to connect a CD
changer or satellite receiver, you can, instead or even in addition to,
connect a device to give you AUX and Bluetooth input, and hands-free
phone calls. Assuming you have a cell phone.

My 2004 Toyota has a 2008 aftermarket radio. It doesn't do bluetooth,
but it has a USB jack on the front. I'm content to plug a cable between
that and my phone. Voila! Audiobooks.

Yes, a cable would have been good enough. I keep the cable plugged in
all the time anyhow, and I have to plug in the usb charging, so I might
was well do both.. They sold cable-only for the ipod,pad,phone, but
not for Android, so I had to get the bluetooth.

I maybe should have added that GTACarkit also has a USB jack but they
warn you it's only for charging. I bought a usb to 3.5mm adapter (and
they also warn you that they only work if there is something in the aux
input that knows how to interpret USB) and sure enough, it didn't work.

The adapter was not expensive, and I only wanted it for playing
flashdrives, but with the phone there is no need for that. I can use
it for keeping the phone charged, but I'm also putting in a charger
outlet, etc.
