12V -> 5V usb dual adapter 2A/1A:

I had a 12V socket wired to the glovebox that goes off and on with the ignition and replaced the CD changer with a Dension aux input adapter.

Qi charging pad has neodymium magnets epoxied to it and then white plastic plasti-dipped black to match the car.

Galaxy S4 has 2 small metal plates installed between the phone and the case to grab hold of the neodymium magnets, plus 2 holes cut out of the case for the little magnets on the outside of the charging pad which serve as locator pins.

Dual USB adapter has the 2A output to the Metrans Qi charging pad and 1A output to the Rocketfish bluetooth receiver.

Phone autoconnects to bluetooth receiver and the app "Poweramp" automatically pauses/resumes mp3 playback upon bluetooth connect/disconnect.

Both the Galaxy S4 and the Rocketfish receiver use decent quality AptX codecs such that sound quality is the same as playing mp3's directly from the phone.
