Apple Plugging iPhone into Car Aux Port

[Prior22]

I purchased a c to 3.5mm audio jack adapter to plug into an iphone 7. The purpose of this was to then plug the cable into the aux port of my car. However the plug wont fit in the iphone. I'm curious what adapter needs to be purchased for an iphone to aux port hookup. Thanks.

Two main choices, assuming get a proper phone that supports common standards like 3.5mm audio is not on the cards.

1) Apple's junk these days uses a lightning connector so you want a lightning to 3.5mm connector.
2) Buy a bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter. Plug said 3.5mm into the aux connector and connect via bluetooth to the adapter. You can get even fancier if you want and solder it directly into the car radio but I imagine if you are asking this sort of question that is beyond what you care to do.

Option 3 is bluetooth to FM adapter/rebroadcaster (there might be such a thing as a lightning to one but eh) and tune your radio into the relevant station. Don't know what goes in the US for these things these days (different countries, possibly even states, have far different regs as to what gets allowed) and then you can likely also order something that bruises a few rules from China to be better than that but maybe go against FCC regs by being too powerful (not that anybody is likely to do much).

My car doesn't have bluetooth capabilities. Decided to buy this though:

Just out of curiosity why don't you like Apple products. I know they're overpriced but I love the IOS interface. Very easy to navigate.

Your car need not have bluetooth. That is the point of buying the adapter that spits out 3.5mm audio.

Apple wise.
I don't like the software. I find it far too limiting (can I plug the thing in and copy paste a photo from it? FTP or something equally easy?), and I find their restrictions upon what people can make (no emulators, no tethering, the ad blocking/our browser or no browser and all the rest) even worse. I don't know if I can even get to easy either, or at least no easier than the alternatives on the market.
I don't like them abandoning common standards -- proprietary chargers, no 3.5mm headphones, no SD memory, no easily swappable battery...
I find them massively overpriced for what they are (and that is before we get to the no SD so memory matters and thus upgrade differences in price), even more so if I consider the design faults. Speaking of batteries that slowdown because old battery stuff is just the tip of the iceberg there.
I find them messing with repair shops and supplies of repair parts to be horrible.
I find them messing with electronics companies (they are worse than EA for buying things in only to kill, or indeed buying up space only to abandon which is much the same thing).

That said I don't have a phone nor tablet for most of the same reasons above so it only bothers me when I get to fix the junk or try to get it integrated into someone's business for them, and that usually just amounts to figuring out where they played hide the email signature and/or install some kind of file sharing/remote storage program.
