I just got a 2013 g37x without navigation and would like to play music from my Android phone.

I am approaching the problem in two ways:

1) Looking for a USB audio to 3.5mm jack which I have not been successful with after looking at radio shack and at car toys. I did find this on ebay though:

I ordered it and will post it works. It is coming from China and is only 5 bucks so what the heck.

2) The other approach I was going to use was a bluetooth dongle. Does anyone know if the 2013 G37x without navigation permits music with the bluetooth function or is the bluetooth only for the phone?

I'm not sure as I don't have a newer G37 but others have either tapped into the line-level XM outputs from the trunk and run a 3.5mm female reciprocal to the dash area for connectivity.
