Unfortunately I don't have a car with AA/CP support so I'm looking for the next best thing.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for something I can stick into my car's aux port and forget about it? Ideally it should support both AAC and aptX/LDAC as I have both iOS and Android.
I don't think it should have a battery as it gets pretty hot and I've been known to forget to take the car back into the garage when traveling. It needs to be durable enough to withstand the temps inside a car on a hot summer day.
Ideally it would be compact so I don't clutter the center console area but its not a dealbreaker.
Closest thing I've found are these:
Firefly - Seems like almost what I'm looking for but it only has AAC. Since android now also supported AAC maybe this is the best I'll get? Seems like an old product though

FiiO seems to have something, but no BT and it has a battery

This thing is advertised to do the job but I'm a bit skeptical

Mpow seems to have something close but no mention of AAC

[Edit]
Also I am aware I could just plug the aux into my phone/ (well with a dongle these days) or USB to iPhone but its a hassle to deal with wires and if there are multiple people in the car, I'd like to have BT audio that sounds... nicer. There is a huge difference between the built in BT and wired audio.
