My car is too old for bluetooth audio, so I have to connect either the dongle or the charger. The dongles i can buy from gas stations always break after about two months, while the gas station aux cable they connect to has lasted years. I also always run out of power on long drives.

Dongles exist which allow you to charge and play audio at the same time.
And… stop buying garbage products from gas stations? You are buying the most cheaply-built item possible from a manufacturer and merchant who have zero concern with repeat business. Pay a few bucks more once for something made by a manufacturer with a reputation and stop throwing more money down the drain.

Like $10 on Amazon you can get a Bluetooth receiver you can pair your phone to that will then output all the audio out a 3.5mm jack.
Don’t know what those gas station dongles cost, but seems you might save money in the long run just adding Bluetooth to your car…
