Streaming in G37 with no navi

Streaming in G37 with no navi
So after hours of researching, I realize that it is really hard (maybe impossible) with streaming music with non-iphone products nor bluetooth.
At first, I was like "Well, since the bluetooth doesnt work on g w/ no navi, I guess Ill just use AUX."
Then, I was like 'I will just get bluetooth streaming device. why not'
But then I realize my car doesn't have AUX..
So I tried to plug my android into USB; doesn't work, however my friend plugged in his iphone it works perfect :/
I went to dealership and asked few questions.
1) I like to install AUX on my car -> No; your car is not capable to install AUX. It has USB and bluetooth you can stream that way
What? he was telling me that I could connect my phone to the system and stream the music there.. which was a bull****.. obviously this guy doesn't know about g37.
So I only have two choices if I want to stream in my car.
1) get a iphone 6
2) get FM transmitter that connects with power outlet (I'm guessing I won't be able to use the hand-free bluetooth phone option in my car if I use this option??)
Do you guys have any other option or any other way to stream your music?
Thanks!

Why not just get an iPod or similar device that you can connect through the USB port?
I know it doesn't solve the streaming issue, but if you have a library of music you can listen to it this way. This would still allow you to use your phone through bluetooth.
Seems like a cheaper option than dropping $ on an iPhone.

Plus, I thought just regular USB flash drive would work to play songs in the drive? does it have to be ipod?

I installed a Grom Box in my non-nav g37 about 2 months ago and it works well. It has a few glitches every now and then but works as advertised none the less. Easy install if you have even the slightest mechanical ability. See the diy below.

How does the iPhone stream? Is it really streaming, or are you simply able to tap into the MP3s stored on the device? There's a difference between streaming an MP3 that's playing on the iPhone, versus simply accessing the MP3 itself and playing it.
Are you saying that your firend's iPhone was able to stream Pandora (for example) through the USB port? That's the test I'd stick to movnign forward.

Just buy an old iphone or ipod on ebay or craigslist. An old nano or classic would work fine. Plus it would be cheaper than any adapters to make something else work. Work smarter not harder.

It is streaming. My friend who has iphone 4s plugged into the USB port and he could stream musics from youtube/musics from the library/pandora etc. However, I have HTC ONE android which doesn't work like iphone.
From my research, the aux/ipod 2-in-1 cable doesn't work with my car since the car itself doesn't have AUX output. There is this cable that connects USB to AUX(to my phone) but this doesn't work either since the car doesn't recognize/read the aux output from the USB.
I have a horrible experience with DIY especially in electronics. I rather pay more to get it done..

The Grom box is a bluetooth adapter that takes over your XM Radio connection and plays over what would be the XM Radio source. The two way cord I was referring to comes from the grom box itself so you would be able to play music from an ipod or any other media playet via cord or bluetooth connection. You were looking for a way to stream music, this is it, short of buying an ipod or itouch and paying for a new data connection on top of that. $140 and 2 hours of your time and you will have what you were looking for.
