For your car het yourself a cassette player dock and a Sony walkman. Don't worry about the skipping, scratched CDs, limited data storage, shaky connection, inability to change the library at will, it's much easier and more convenient than keeping a Bluetooth connection from your phone to your player working.
Alternative, get one with a USB port and load a USB stick with MP3.
I just keep my radio off and instead listen to the worrying noises from the engine and suspension.
I rebought my old Walkman for nostalgia WM-FX415, which, according to current reviews, was a decent model.
A little more techy, I'm currently looking at this portable CD player that has Bluetooth and FM transmit. It's showing as sold out though.
Monodeal CD707.
I used to have one of those cassette adapters to use with mp3 players. They'd work great with headphone jacks. Pity few phones still have those these days.
I use a Sony NWZ A15 which is an older player so can probably be had for not much money. Headphone jack and micro SD card.
If your car is newer with one of those integrated head units then you can get a 3.5mm Bluetooth sender for hardly any money.
Yeah you'd probably have to rig something with a usbc to 3.5mm to cassette adapter if you want corded, though someone with better skills than me could slice and solder the two adapters together to make one adapter.
