I drive a car from 2000, it runs great, no spyware, no features in my car that I can't use, all I need to is add Bluetooth to the radio and its perfect. I don't really need a screen in my car to tell me basic information the dash gauges already tell me.

Buy one of these and you're good to go:

Is this thing even real?

I would suggest using an aux cable instead.

Yes, it's real and it works fine. There are also fully passive aux cable versions available.

My first car doesn't even have aux port, so I had to use something similar, but connect to 3.5mm jack instead.

the stereo often has an aux input on its backside that you can wire up

Sadly my tape player doesn't work anymore, not really sure why? I had planned in getting on of these also my car lacks on aux port.

I have a 2000 and a 2014. I don't expect to replace either until both of them die. Even then... I also have a motorcycle. I really don't want to buy any of the nonsense coming out these days.
