How to play music from my iPhone in my car?

I was wondering how to play music from my iPhone in my car. I drive a first generation Acura MDX (so before the 2006 version).

Well, you have a few options. Either replace your car stereo with an aftermarket stereo that either has a USB port(so you can plug the USB end of your iphone cord into the stereo, then plug the other end of the cord into the charging port of your iphone which allows you to play music), or you can buy an aftermarket stereo that has Bluetooth, in which you would just turn on Bluetooth on your iphone, then connect it wirelessly to your car stereo. Oh, you can also buy an fm transmitter. How a transmitter works is you plug in the transmitter into your car 12 v power port, then plug your iphone into the transmitter, find an fm channel that isn't playing music, set your transmitter to that same channel and play your music. Your best bet would be to buy a car stereo with a USB port or one with Bluetooth. The advantage of this is you conviently play your music through the stereo with your charging cord(which also allows you to charge your phone with some stereos) and with Bluetooth it's wireless, so less hassle. A stereo will cost more but should play music clearly compared to an fm transmitter that has the chance of not finding a clear fm station

The easiest answer is to go buy a charging FM transmitter dock at Walmart. It's made by Duracell and it costs about $25
