How's the audio with the phone plugged directly into the aux port? Would it be too late to consider routing an aux port to wherever you keep your phone while driving?
Also wondering did you wire the new usb port to a new fuse or just tap it into existing cigarette lighter circuit? I've bought a bunch of those to add to the 159 in a few discrete places to allow charging points for front and rear passengers and one close to my phone holder to allow for a short cable to a Quadlock wireless charging holder and I can't decide if it's worth having them individually fused (or at least separately fused in groups...

Have you tried streaming other than from Spotify? I gave up on using the bluetooth receiver for the same reason - anything via Spotify sounded extremely flat in contrast to how dynamic and rich anything on the CD player sounded. I assumed that it's just whatever compression Spotify uses and have resorted to just filling all storage compartments with various (Gran)dad rock CDs. I've listened to 'We Can't Dance' and 'The Divison Bell' more than twice in a row on various journeys and IJDGAF.

Spent some time on the car today, fitted USB power sockets to the cubby behind the handbrake and ran an aux cable from the head unit there as well.
My plan was to put a small bluetooth receiver in there, enabling me to stream Spotify from my phone to the car stereo.
Unfortunately, whilst this worked the sound quality and the volume were both sadly lacking.
I really want to preserve the (now rather old) head unit as it matches the car very well, but it'd be nice to have a few modern conveniences - has anyone tackled this successfully?
