    Gotta get rid of the finicky Aux cord and would rather use Bluetooth on my 2nd Gen. I am not really looking for a new radio. Is there a way to accomplish this?

    Check out GTA car kits. A little pricey but works really well. I love having bluetooth in my 05

    The 12v plug & bluetooth on radio station is super easy....just maybe not the best sound..

    New radio, or fix the current aux jack.

    Unless you have a tape deck or some other input to your system. Some have rca jacks on the back, but I doubt the factory radio does.

    I didn’t realize they made these for Bluetooth, I had one for cds some time ago, it would work great some times, others not sure how it didn’t end up out the window. I’m sure they have improved since then.

    I have an older non-bluetooth one paired with a bluetooth antenna receiver and it's good enough, never had an issue with it. This is the latest one with bluetooth from USA spec. Installs behind the radio.

    You can bluetooth music on a radio station using this t26 Bluetooth fm transmitter.

    Edit: yes bluetooth using your cell

    12 volt plug in is great. I got one on Amazon for 20 bucks or so a year ago. Use it every day no issues.
