iPhone 5 connectivity

[Sooperstar]

I'm looking to be able to play music from my iPhone 5 through the car stereo and just wondering what people's opinions are on the best option.

Do I fit an Aux cable (get a mate to do it!) or am I better just getting one of the Bluetooth options. If Bluetooth then what one is the best to go for?

Any advice/opinions appreciated.

I just fitted an aux connector to play my iPhone 5 through. Sound is really quiet. Have to have it turned up full. Others don't seem to suffer the same problems tho.

I've seen the sound issue mentioned a few times, seems some have it and others don't, which is why I'm considering the Bluetooth option, but that's obviously more expensive.

you can buy a simple Bluetooth receiver ( must be A2DP compliant )plugs into Aux less than £20 on Amazon
or
I use a BMW Y cable with a genuine Apple adapter , 30pin to lightning in to iPhone 5 . The USB plugs into power and the 3.5mm jack into audio
Stereo using AUX setting on HU all wiring hidden under dash cover that houses the AUX and mounted in a Brodit holder /mount

Do you know if Bluetooth can be connected to the car as well as the a2dp adapter?

I've got an aux already, it's just a pita to connect the cable each time.

The receiver is a small bluetooth receiver that receives the soundfrom iPhone and transfers to the AUX channel in Sound system

as in this example

http://www.amazon.co.uk/JUSTOP-BTR006-Bluetooth-Wireless-Universal/dp/B005NDDEVQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1366661269&sr=8-2&keywords=bluetooth+receiver

A2DP is purely the Bluetooth technology in Receiver

Yep, get the concept. Just curious if I can still answer the phone via Bluetooth if I'm streaming to the a2dp thinging - which if I can, I'm getting one
