The adapter section in this post should answer your question:

I'm using a bluetooth audio receiver with the 1/8" aux audio in my glovebox. plus side, it was cheap and works well, downside I have two separate bluetooth connections in my car one for the hands-free phone and one for audio and there's no control of the audio device except for volume but at least my phone's not trapped in the glovebox. I have a few friends with Audi and Mercedes rides who have gotten this and speak well of it:

Or you could have obtained an inexpensive iPod from eBay that was dedicated full time to the AMI in the glovebox and still had full MMI control of your music.
