Best way to play music off iPhone

My suggestions to play music off iPhone other than a Bluetooth setup or that one aux cord that only has like 3” wire? If Bluetooth is the way to go—suggestions are appreciated. I have a 2013 R56.

I use this Bluetooth dongle with the existing USB/30-pin cable, it works flawlessly.

I just picked one of these up and it works great on iPhone 12 Pro Max. No more plugging cables in, just hope in and go.
