The idea is to get more functionality than plugging a USB drive in - anything going via the 3.5mm means losing the ability to use the controls to skip, display track titles, etc.

Yeah true. It needs to be native Bluetooth rather than bodged on.

In theory you can write a driver to make the (big) USB ports do anything. But if you disable the normal USB stack to do that, then you'd presumably also lose use of other USB devices (storage, network, peripherals).
I'm pretty sure what you want to do is possible, but I've no idea how feasible it is and it would almost certainly be worth getting one of the preexisting alternatives instead.

That's pretty cool. Look out for squeak codes 7500, 7600 and 770.

7500 is hijacking, 7600 is radio failure and 7700 is emergency.

Tempting. I rarely bother plugging my phone into my car stereo. I might be more likely to use it with a Bluetooth connection. If my new car has an aux input. Will have to check that first.
What's the quality like? Battery powered?

I found the sound quality to be fine, but I think that's down to my amp/speakers rather than the adapter.
The one I have is powered over USB, so standard USB 5V charger is fine. There's probably battery ones too.
This is the one I have -

- but I wouldn't recommend it purely because of the awful announcement when you connect.

What about the GPIO - could that not be made use of rather than disabling regular USB?
