Hi all!

So i've posted prior regarding bluetooth/auxiliary etc. but i'd like to post my overall goal to see if this is attainable.

I'd like to use the factory phone system including the factory microphone, steering controls and volume know to make calls (possibly, the keypad too but not a big deal if not). I do not wish to have any aftermarket buttons present and I'd like to be able to stream music via my lightening cable on my iPhone as well as bluetooth while charging the phone. I do not like bluetooth audio streaming quality as auxiliary is much better.

If it makes anyone's recommendations easier...I honestly don't care much for the phone feature if that cannot be used. If it can, than that is fantastic, maybe via a screen less CarPlay hub if that even exists. The biggest thing i'd like to do is be able to charge my phone via the lightening cable and simultaneously play audio through the lightening cable, essentially as an AUX.

Appreciate any help. Thanks everyone

 

Here's an option that actually works well …

 

Thanks so much, but i'm really looking for a non visible solution. I currently have the Ion bluetooth cassette recieiver but like i mentioned, bluetooth audio is just not as great as auxiliary.

 

 

Not sure if it still exists, but for the old cables there was a special camera charging cable you could get that had USB and charging at the same time.
You will still need something that converts USB to audio though
