Anyone have any good solutions? I am trying to find some, but coming up with older outdated results.
I basically want a bluetooth receiver that I can plug into my AUX input of my car. This being used for music, GPS and calls. I would also like something that can keep power through the car lighter if possible.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Just wanted to warn people there are two versions of this. The BTAXS and BTAXM. On Ebay you'll see both and the M is cheaper, but that one only does bluetooth calling no a2dp stereo. So you want to buy the BTAXS.

Their English is pretty bad but from the part of the description I can make out it sounds like a A2DP receiver, so it should work.
Just so you know, amazon has this a bit cheaper. I think amazon can be trusted more than ebay imho.
Can't post a link but just search for "B0036ORN2U" on amazon and you'll find it.

Quick update, I received my Scosche motorMOUTH II Stereo from the ebay I linked. I received it the day after I placed the order. It works great, sounds great. People can tell I'm on speakerphone but they understand me fine. The only con is that you can't charge it while using it. it usually prevents you, but I was able to get it to charge while running, the problem is that you will get the weird feedback sound from the car lighter through aux cable.... Not sure how to explain it.

That's a ground loop. Google ground loop isolator or ground loop filter.
The one I have looks exactly like the PAC SNI-1/3.5 or the PGLI35 (just google those terms) and it works very well - don't pay over $15, I think I paid less than $10 three years ago. It looks like the Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable has it built-in if you need something longer.
I got this one for $32 at tmobile store with the 50% off coupon. Its a headset that comes with an adaptor to plug a 3.5mm audio jack and a stereo headset.

Yes. Under each bluetooth device you pair to on your phone you can select whether it's used for music, calls, or both; and you can pair with two devices simultaneously. I do this successfully all the time with my Kensington Liquid Aux (for music in the car, does calls too but the mic is crappy) and a cheap BT headset from LG.
It's a shame that Kensington unit is hard to find now, the remote it comes is SUPER handy and it's something I haven't seen included with any other BT bridge. I attached the remote to my Civic's steering wheel and it literally looks stock.
Another good bridge for music only is the BluBridge mini-jack Rx, battery lasts a long time and you can power it with any USB car charger, really good range too. I got one last year and liked it so much I got a second during Christmas to give away as a gift. I use it at home or during small get-togethers so I can stream to any stereo or set of portable speakers.
Ive been using this one http://cgi.ebay.com/IOGEAR-Bluetooth-Wireless-Audio-Transport-Headset-NEW-/150443532234?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2307221fca
Not trying to be rude or anything but why use bluetooth?
Why not just plug your phone directly into the Aux?
I have one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001DDE4VY/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/175-8678155-4748113
And it works well. It's expensive....and it doesn't plug into your Audi port.....and the Mic isn't built in ....the Mic comes with it, you have to plug it in and clip it on to your shirt. The satechi device works real well though.

It makes it much easier to control your phone while you're excercising for example without the cord connected to it.
At the same time the module itself also has buttons to control music and access voice commands.
Another thing is that the module also has a mic built in to work with headphones that don't.
Another +1 on the Sony MW600!

I bought this model from there for $25, and it works great.
BH-503 Designer's Bluetooth Stereo Handsfree Headset (13-Hour Talk/240-Hour Standby)
Works like a charm with my S2.
I picked up one of the Sony WM600 headsets this weekend. It was on sale at the local AT&T store and with my FAN discount and taxes, the price came to less than $42.
Today is the first full day of use, but I've been using it to stream music and podcasts and one 15 minute phone call all morning long. About 4 hours on it so far and the battery meter hasn't budged. Range is decent - I've wondered off about 20 feet with no loss of audio. Radio works better than I thought at pulling in relatively weak signals.
One complaint - the call/hangup button is positioned in such a way that when you grab it to release the clip (like you would to re-position it) you end up pressing the button.
One oddity - when you press the call/hangup button, it seems to sometimes loose it's connection to the music stream and can take a few on/off bluetooth toggles to get it to reconnect.
So far I really like it. The display is nice and passes on caller ID information. It's very small and from what I can tell so far, the battery life will be decent.
Hey XDA.... Figured I'd share another helpful hint in the world of cellular communications. So here we go:
If you are listening to your car stereo and supplying music or videos from your phone by the way of a 3.5mm stereo cable from your headphone jack into a 3.5mm jack or RCA adapter into the headunit, you can hear callers over your car speakers and use the phone in headset mode without needing to use the speakerphone. I put the pictured item inline to my phone and it works like a charm. Even the end call button works. I paid $2 open box from BB and they normally sell for 3-4.
Hopefully, others can capitalize on this and make life easier in the car.....

Sprint sells the HTC Car StereoClit(AUX) which should do what you are asking I think. It plugs into the aux connector and has a USB port for power. I just picked one up today after search all over the web for something like it with no luck. Was $60. I did find it online at several places but they were all the same $60.

The Samsung HS3000 in my opinion is better (has more features) and is only ~$30.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711299
I'm taking pictures of my setup now and will post them in that thread in a few minutes.
I bought a Parrot MKi9200 a couple months ago and have never been happier. Along with the bluetooth music capability, it adds the hands-free phone capability as well as giving you multiple options for hardline connectivity (for friends equipment)
i'm also using a Samsung HS3000, everything hardwired behind the dash and battery disconnected for power on/off with the cigarette lighter's supply. Wired a second 2 port cigarette lighter to the hot wire of the factory cig, then grounded nearby on its own ground to avoid any ground loop issues. Ran both wires to my glove compartment and velcro'ed the unit to the ceiling.
I haven't tried the mic as my headunit has BT phone profile but no A2DP, upgraded from a parrot MKi9100 as i found with my OG Evo trying to do flac over BT it loses considerable quality over a wired solution. If you want both phone and music capability the parrot line might work but the Apt-X on the HS3000 or the stereoclip is superb. I thinks someone mentioned that with the stereoclip it does not pass audio to the headunit when calls come in and instead takes the call over the phone's speakerphone. The HS3000 does however have a mic and will take the call over the headunit and using it's internal mic.
I am was in your situation as well but I couldn't find a hard wired car kit that had apt-x codec built in, plus none could touch the hs3000 on price. I just opened the back of my hs3000 and disconnected the battery then went onto my Bluetooth settings and clicked on the hs3000 and unchecked use for headset so it only connects for audio.

I was also looking to go this route. My Prius has a 12V socket and an AUX jack inside the center console so I wanted some sort of bluetooth receiver that was not battery powered. The 12V socket in the car is only active when the car is on so the bluetooth receiver would automatically power on when the car is and allow the phone to sync. Such a device just doesn't seem to exist and I've given up the search.
I just stopped by the Sprint store today and picked up the Sprint EVO LTE car dock and the HTC car stereo clip and got 20% off so total for the two was about $75 before tax. The instructions said it needed to be charged for two hours out of the box so i connected the car dock and the HTC stereo clip both into my dual USB port 12V adapter. I did get some ground loop feedback from the HTC stereo clip being plugged in but when the music was playing it sounded great. Definitely not as much ground loop noise as playing over the 3.5mm audio cable from the phone while plugged in and charging.
I'm going to order the ProClip center mount for my car and get a ball mount adapter for it to use with the car dock because the slope of the windshield puts the phone out of reach. Hopefully with the ProClip center mount the phone might get some air from the vent to cool it down too, I've never felt it as hot as it was in the car dock!

That is not always an option these days. With all the "intelligence" in some cars, they put it in the radio. My 2006 Impala put all the controls in the radio so you can't just replace it. And if you have the aux port already, a unit like the HTC stereo clip is cheaper and easier to install.

With this set up, my phone connects over blue tooth for audio and talking on two different channels so that I can take calls on the deck even if I'm listening to the regular radio. It also has a broken as hell pandora function.
Not only that, but the interface kit allows for all the stock bells and whistles to continue to work. My door Chimes, remote start, blinker, and steering wheel controls all work just fine.

I just did a quick look up of these two items and found them on Amazon. The radio was $163 and the adapter was $229! So you are suggesting spending almost $400 and modifying your car when you can accomplish the same thing for $60 without making any modifications? The OP only wanted to use his phone as an MP3 player. While replace the factory radio can be done, I was just trying to point out it was not as simple as the other solutions presented.

Obviously, you don't need to spend that much on a deck - I just wanted a really nice deck and I had some specific requirements.
As far as I'm concerned, having stock track and volume control at my fingertips on the steering wheel while listening to pandora over blue tooth is totally worth it.

Sony makes a really nice set of headphones with the mic, If any headset works as stated above, that would be a pair I would consider. Walmart has them and also office depot, and usually theres like 3 or 4 models about 5 - 10 bucks apart.
There's been a few times i was traveling or something and needed a pair quick or the kids lost my girl's pairs, and a quick trip to walgreens and $15 got a nice set of stereo ear plugs and I know some of them have the mic and headset controls that will work with the headset hook mod.
Don't laugh but try Big Lots if you have 1 near you. The last time I was in the 1 near me they had a ton of ear buds & over ear headphones real cheap.

Are there any new ways to play music off your Note 3 through your car speakers??
Or is the Bluetooth FM Transmitter still the way to go? Is there one anyone can recommend? I have the old fashioned Monster wired cable, but it only has 3 channel options, and we often can't find a clear channel when we travel.
I assume you don't have a line in port on your head unit.
If all you have is am/fm radio and a cd slot then an FM transmitter is the only thing you can do.
I hope to not hijack this but when I plug mine into my aux jack, it plays fine. But holy hell, when I plug the power into it, there is a good awful noise until the audio actually starts playing. Just having everything plugged in without paying anything is too loud to stand. I'd there any thing that can be fine to stop this?

If you're driving a Toyota or lexus, you can get a plug and play adapter like I have on mine. It's a Bluetooth receiver, look for the bt-35toy on Amazon. And by plug and play I mean you have to plug it into the back of the in dash unit. I did it this way because I wanted to keep the look of the original in dash unit and get Bluetooth support.

I like that that one can search for the best available FM channel, but in general I find the FM transmitters to be a last resort.
I am in an area with lots of radio stations (Atlanta) and for the last 28 years I've had commutes of 40-55 miles, and family scattered widely. When I used these devices I never went over 20 minutes without having to stop listening and find a new frequency due to having so many radio stations in the area. I also have been in traffic and had horrible interference from other electronic devices, possibly radios in nearby vehicles.
If your factory radio doesn't have a Bluetooth receiver the next best choice IMHO is a cable or Bluetooth receiver plugged into an auxiliary input jack. Many factory radios don't have those of course, so you should find a forum for owners of your car and get suggestions about affordable ways to add one. You may find instructions for a DIY method to add one that doesn't cost $125 or more. If you have the money those expensive ones will sound good, but after buying a $700 phone, $20 to $45 case, $8 to $35 tempered glass screen protector, $10 Qi wireless receiver, $20 to $70 Qi charger, plus who knows what for a car mount... Well, most of us have some limit to our disposable income.

Still just an FM but done really well. 2003 Lincoln Town Car Cartier Edition, just so there is no comment about put in aftermarket. The wires.....oh the wires...and computers....that aren't really computers....and the wiring manual that is totally not a wiring manual...wtf...but the ride...oh the RIDE.... whatwhatwhat
yeah um so very happy with the linked product.

I hope to not hijack this but when I plug mine into my aux jack, it plays fine. But holy hell, when I plug the power into it, there is a good awful noise until the audio actually starts playing. Just having everything plugged in without paying anything is too loud to stand. I'd there any thing that can be fine to stop this?

Back in the day I used to have this problem often. It was always feedback from the alternator.
There were line adapters you could use that would soften the noise, but no solution ever really worked very well.
Since my current head unit doesn't have bluetooth built in, but does have a line-in, I got this:

And it works fairly well. I can now charge my phone, play music through the adapter and not have the horrible high pitched noise.
Only problem is you can't power the adapter and stream through it at the same time. Kinda silly, but oh well.
Oh, and I forgot to mention but that adapted can pair using NFC. I just powered it on, tapped my phone to it and it paired right up.
2014 Camry hybrid + Note 3
I've got a 2014 Camry hybrid and it uses Toyota's eTune software.
Music, pandora, navigation, google voice, keyboard taps, everything worked natively.
I can even use the multimedia controls on the steering wheel to pause/skip music.
Only minor issue is that sometimes it will not go to the next track if the screen is off.
My workaround for this was to dual screen pandora with maps to disable automatic sleep.
The roadster 2 works great for me

I have used the PARROT MKi9200 for about a year and it works great. It has a USB connection on it, so I ran a cable for charging.
I connect through a Fiio e-18 straight to a 1600w and 900w amp hooked to 4 5 1/4 pioneer components and 4 6x8 3 way pioneers and one 12 respectivly. It sounds nice and my only limitation is the bit rate on my music. If i can I usually buy dvd audio and rip it at 192/24 and that usually satisfies my ears

let you use your aptx phone to play music in your car. Sounds great. I use this with my s4
Check GROM audio stuff, the GROM-USB2P can take a bluetooth, AUX, or straight USB connection. With the USB connection, you can use a USB drive(thumb or 2.5") or plug your android phone in and stream any audio through the USB port.
Not all phones/tablets are compatible, but is software limitation only. I have a Nexus 7 connected to my factory car radio via USB.
I'm very happy with my Harman Kardon BTA 10 plugged in to the car's AUX input. http://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-External-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B009CA7G92
It sounds good. I read one review that said it gets interference in cars, but I have had possibly two barely-noticable audio glitches in 6 months of using it.
I like the fact that it has no battery and relies on USB power to operate. When the car is switched off, the BTA 10 powers off, disconnecting from the phone which automatically stops playback. Prevously when I used an audio cable from the headphone jack to the car aux, playback continued when the car was switched off (soundlessly if I left it plugged in) - meaning occasionally I'd have podcasts deleted before I heard them if I didn't manually stop playback, thanks to "autodelete on complete" by BeyondPod.
