      I got one of those USB dongles that can charge and output analog sound to aux.

      There’s a whine that matches my RPMs because the thing doesn’t isolate the voltage from the charger and the audio signal that well. Luckily it isn’t very audible when it’s being driven (the sound, not the car). Oh I also need to unlock my phone before it even drives it and it takes a bit for it to switch over.

      The phone needs to convert to analog to drive the speakers anyways, just fucking stick a mux on that to decide whether it drives the speaker amp or an aux wire. If the jack was too thick, imo it would have been better to introduce a new smaller analog jack standard.
