What's your intention? To use Bluetooth or just get phone audio to your speakers?

Bluetooth-FM Adapter is the cheapest. Or you can purchase an expensive NBT retrofit head unit.

I've been doing this hack for years, which is I burn a bunch of songs to a CD and them play that in my car's disc player. One disc can hold like 10 hours of music.

It sounds like you may have an impedance mismatch between the AUX input and whatever device you're using.
