I bought a $10 Bluetooth adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter hole and then an aux cord in our 2010 vehicle. It works significantly more reliably than our other, 2020 vehicle with built-in Bluetooth, touchscreen and all the bells-and-whistles. Seriously, I turn my 2010 car on, "successful connection" every time within seconds. The 2020, I inevitably get failed connections. I don't think my phone has connected to it first try, once. And then sometimes it fails to connect either the audio or the phone calls. Or, I get it connected and my wife gets to the car with her phone and suddenly my Bluetooth connection is gone and we're listening to her phone. It's just infuriating.
I had the same setup going on for a few years myself. The dongle recently bit the dust and I've been too lazy to replace it but my car's bt connection is nowhere near as reliable as that $17 dinky device from amazon. Like 50% of the time my car will throw an error claiming my phone isn't capable of Bluetooth audio while playing a song from it
(but really really I just want a headphone jack on my phone again)
A million times yes. I LOATHE having to update my earbuds' firmware when I'm at the gym and I just want to start exercising already.
I've got a 2012 Mazda 3. The radio was dumb, so I replaced the radio with a Pioneer one that supports Android Auto. Works perfectly.
What adapter is that? I can only find the stupid fm adaptors

I have a cigarette lighter-USB adapter already plugged in.
Ahhh thank you I'll have to see if I can find something like that in my country
