Good solution for the iPhone with stock audio and no BT?

Hi all, I'm still in the absolute love phase with my new CMS, but I am regreting not getting bluetooth and mini connected options!

I was thinking of getting a simple cigarette slot charger for my iphone and then connecting the phone to the stereo using the AUX in adaptor.

My question is if anyone knows of a better way to 'integrate' the iphone with a CMS that is equipped with only the stock stereo and electronics

Thanks!

^^That's what I do - aux cord ($9.00 at radio shack) and I have a cig adapter for the white iPhone charging cord for longer trips. Works great.

This is good too if you don't mind losing a front cupholder. This way I can see when calls come in and also see my playlists.

For me I bought this product...it is really not a bad price considering what it does. It pairs easily and then you are good to go. I have it in my value edition Jetta and it makes life easy and I can stream anything wirelessly over Bluetooth...It sounds pretty decent tool...plus it can charge your phone at the same time and you can make calls etc.

I use aux USB cable, it work great and give better sound quality compare to AUX out directly from iphone. 2A cigarette slot charger which charge faster and comparable with ipad.

For the phone holder, Cravenspeed Smartphone Mount is the best i ever try.

I found that the combination work even better than the mini's option.
