Tiny bluetooth to aux adapters cost $10–20 on Amazon and work amazingly well.

Just get one that has a constant power source (no battery), and try to plug it in to a switched power outlet so it disconnects when you shut the car off.

No.

Bluetooth is slow to change tracks, slow to pause, slow to connect, has annoying pairing issues, has lower sound quality, and is just generally subpar.

So it's wireless, but with wires.

I rarely use either though, my car has usb and I have a 32Gb stick of music that stays in there.
