Most newish car stereos can work as a set of very loud bluetooth speakers for your phone.
So, you hop on your car, plug a usb charger into the phone, and the phone automatically enables bluetooth (if it was disabled at the time). The car stereo and the phone were paired already, so they reconnect automatically, and music coming out of the phone starts playing on the car speakers. When you get to your destination, you unplug your phone, and bluetooth is automatically switched off to save phone battery (if it was disabled before plugging it in). My guess for such an option would be just an on/off switch in the bluetooth page of system settings labeled something like: "Always enable when charging."
