plug smartphone into car aux input?

This relates to playing back music from the phone (Google Play Music). Back when I didn't have a capable smartphone I didn't order my car with the smartphone accessory (think it's only for iphones anyway) that lets you see your music on the screen. But it does come with an aux input that I've been able to plug my ipod into (doesn't show music on screen). Does it work the same way with a smartphone like the Galaxy Nexus as long as I have the proper cable like this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...d=10218&cs_id=1021802&p_id=644&seq=1&format=2?

Our other car ('13) is able to play via bluetooth - what a convenience - but I cannot in mine. My car's ('08) bluetooth is only good for phone conversations.

Yes, it will work. That's how I hook my phone up to my car.

Yes, You can hear/play it through aux.

what happens when I get an incoming phone call? Will it ring through the car speakers but I have to unplug to talk/listen?

I guess I can just turn the bluetooth on for phone too, but not sure if the audio will interfere with each other.

It will ring through the car speakers and when you answer you'll hear the other person over the speakers. You still need to talk into the mic on your phone though.

This is how I do all my music listening and talking in the car with my Galaxy Nexus. I actually find the phone picks up my voice pretty well when it's sitting in the mount I have in my cupholder.

I use a Bluetooth headset and on mine it will pause the music thru the speakers (on the aux input) but the phone call is through the headset so it works rather well. Also because it pauses the music, I don't have to have the headset in my ear all the time to try and listen to the phone ringing.
