I bought a Bluetooth radio adapter, because my 02 is too old for bluetooth, and too new for a cassette player. I've been very pleased with it. I was on the verge of buying a new stereo just for the capability, but this has kept that want at bay.

Totally worth the $15
I felt the same way but I ended up buying this and it's actually pretty great:

Would this be a decent solution?

I really hate iHeartMedia. They bought out all the good stations and replaced them with their blend of generic pop-rock. They're the reason I have my current custom setup in my car, because I got tired of the same songs over and over.
If you're sick of the same couple of ihateradio bands, you can do what I did and buy a bluetooth enabled FM receiver. It broadcasts music from your phone or TF card via a blank channel. It's great. I can upload the music I want to hear, or I can play spotify while I'm in the car without having to mess with the CD player or radio knob.
This is the model I have. link
I used this with my stock headunit. Worked pretty well. It's not 100% perfect sound quality, but it's close and it allows you to skip songs.

Are you looking to go phone -> adapter -> car? If so, then I'd suggest looking for a 12V bluetooth to FM adapter that also has an aux output. Something like this should work. The FM bit usually has crappy quality, but the aux output is there and these are a lot more common than adapters with only aux. You do have to make sure that whichever plug you use cuts off with the car to avoid draining the battery. I think Japanese cars tend to have switched outlets, but my late 90's BMW kept the outlets powered all the time so I had to install a separate relay using signal from the radio to cut it on and off.
I purchased a Bluetooth FM transmitter for my car awhile back and it's usable. I'm not an audiophile, and if you're not too concerned about audio quality it's pretty nice. My father had borrowed my car for two weeks awhile back and really liked it, considering what it was. After the first week I mentioned it sort of cuts out some of the highs and lows and he was then able to notice it. Audiobooks and podcasts on he other hand sound just fine.
You might consider one of these type things:

I'm not sure if it's the same brand but I have one that looks identical, plugs into the cigarette lighter for power and you can use a little cable to plug it into the aux port. Then you can either sync your phone to it via Bluetooth, or load up your fav songs onto an SD card and leave it in there (I use it both ways.) It also has usb ports for charging your phone.
Oh, what a drag! You can't put a new head unit in because of the combined climate controls? Lame, Subaru. Lame. There's no headphone jack cleverly hidden somewhere?
It's been a really long time since I used an FM transmitter (used to use one for a portable CD player. Yes, I'm old), but in my experience they were okay, as long as you found a nice, empty channel. It was a pain when traveling and your previously empty channel would suddenly be Hot Hits 97.5 or whatever and you had to mess around and find another one. Now again, I'm showing my age, because the one I had back in the day used analog wheels to tune and it had a gross one and a fine one. These days they're all digital. I found this guy on Amazon. It's listed as their best seller and it seems pretty inexpensive to at least try out.
Good luck getting your tunes sorted out!
