Hello,
 
I have a 2005 Prius and the stock stereo comes with a cassette player.  Technically, there is no auxiliary port, however, I have heard of some methods to access it behind the stock stereo.
 
I have been using a crappy radioshack cassette adapter for the last 3 years (it just broke today) and I dislike having to plug/unplug my adapter from my HTC EVO every time I get in and get out of my car.  I would like to find a wireless solution and I was wondering....
 
1.  How would you classify the quality/bit-rate of a cassette adapter?  i.e. sounds like 128kbps etc.
 
2.  Is auxiliary input a big upgrade from  a cassette adapter?
 
3.  How is the sound quality of Bluetooth 3.0 adapters and are they on par with auxiliary input?  I hear the limiting factor is connection issues, but since it would be in my car, I don't see an issue here.
 
I mainly listen to EDM ~320kbps with some FLAC mixed in.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks for the reply!  I believe my car has bluetooth 2.1 and NO A2DP, so would my only solution be to find a bluetooth 3.0 adapter and somehow plug it into my auxiliary input on my stereo (providing that I can find it)?  I'd imagine that would be the only way to get a BT 3.0 adapter to work with my radio.  Honestly, I would love to get a new receiver, but I HATE losing the functionality of my buttons on my steering wheel.

Anyone know the bit rate for FM transmitters? IF it's high enough, that might be a viable option. Should be a lot less invasive for the vehicle too.

Probably less than cassette adapter and you still have to plug it in which is my biggest gripe.

I've never heard a decent sounding FM transmitter.
