Help with USB Bluetooth Dongle selection

[kkemm]

Looking for USB Bluetooth dongle for car that outputs music back to the car via the USB port. My car stereo can control iphone music if I connect the iphone via a charging cable to the car USB port. I want the same functionality, but connect the phone via BlueTooth, not the charging cable.

I do NOT want to use 3.5mm audio b/c then I can't control the song display, selection, etc. through my car stereo.

Won't happen. The USB port isn't for inputting audio. To do what you want, you'd need a new stereo.

Your stereo would actually need enough brainpower to mount and install a bluetooth driver. I'm not saying some don't, but does yours?

But it does happen when I use a charging cable plugged into the USB port.

yeah that's mass storage device support, not the same thing at all. lot of home stereos have that to, even a lot of TV's.

Bluetooth a is effectively a network adapter, entirely different.
