Can I connect this to my car using the aux cord then connect my phone to this (and to my car) using this device's bluetooth functionality?

EDIT: Found it from here: https://www.androidpolice.com/201...ugh-edges/

Now $7.99 on both eBay and Walmart.

EDIT: I was able to find it on eBay from a different seller, ee-outlet, for $6.99 plus 20% with code WINTERSALE91, so it was $5.59 before tax.

So most devices when charge and transmit audio, it creates a noise. Does this create it?

The sound comes through an AUX cable. In my car, there's no feedback when there is sound coming through the AUX cable and my phone is charging. There is feedback when there isn't sound with my phone, but I don't know if that will be true of this device. It seems like such a device would have to address that and I didn't see any complaints about it in reviews, but that doesn't mean much.

I have earstudio es100 coupled with a noise suppressor m-pow, I think. And it works remarkably well but if this can do both in single unit, then I'm all in

I wish I knew for sure. But I decided to give it a try since it is only $5.59 through a different seller and I don't have Bluetooth audio in my car and I would like to.

With Android Auto when I connect my Pixel 3a with USB cable I have no "noise" issues in either Pandora or Spotify.

My vehicle has Bluetooth, no "noise" when connecting without the USB cable.

Using Android Auto I already have the listed features, I'm not see the "need" for this.

I had this in my vehicle for my iPhone. Absolute garbage. It never connects to Bluetooth and whenever it finally does it immediately disconnects when you turn off the vehicle. I do not recommend it whatsoever.

Does this play audio from Spotify automatically when it's connected to the phone via Bluetooth?

To elaborate more, if Spotify is not running on my phone, and when the phone and the device get connected, the Spotify app should open on its own and play audio, so that I need not press keys on my phone. So complete touch less play. is it possible?
If so what's the way to get this done, or is there any other device that does that?

Uhh, does the power to the port turn off when the car does?

Same thing happens with my TV. It turns off instantly when I unplug it. It should stay on and ask me to confirm that I want it off.
