Default I phone usage

What is best way to play my I phone through my radio on my 2002 without changing the radio? I want to use it for a satellite radio source using an app on the phone.

I installed a wired in auto on/off modulator and ran the wire to a 3.5mm jack in the center console.
From there I got a wireless bluetooth unit that connects with my phone.

Install is completely wireless and no cords between the center console and the phone.

Pros:
- Wireless Bluetooth
- Wired FM modulator, as close to direct connection as possible in quality.

Cons:
- you have to charge the Bluetooth unit every 12 hours of use or so.
- cannot charge the phone while playing.

Plus the GM antenna adaptors and the 3.5mm male to RCA male 3ft cable.

I use the GoGroove Flexmart X2. Works through the FM radio. I can also have my phone hooked up via bluetooth at the same time. Music stops when I receive a call.
