Using posts I found here, I installed the AirEnabler Airplay device into my car. I'd like to thank the OP in the DIY section for the inspiration.
It was pretty easy. The only hard part was getting the router into that small area with the connections I had. I secured it in place with some of that 3M gray all weather mounting tape. The super sticky stuff with the red backing.
I also used a FiiO e10 USB Headphone Amp/DAC unit. I think FiiO has discontinued this model now and that's a super shame because I've been using it at my desk for the last year and it's really a great little piece of kit. (I upgraded to Schiit Audio amp and DAC components at my desk today so I had this FiiO to use)
Having the FiiO in the loop makes this Airplay solution the total package. It makes the HiFi system sound 10x better when being used through the AUX jack. Can't say much for the DAC that came with the AirEnabler kit, it didn't sound very good, nor did the Creative Labs DAC the AirEnabler website suggested. Stay away from that thing. God awful.
Overall I'm really impressed with this. I might order some thinner right angle USB cables from Monoprice to clean it up a bit more...
Here's some pics.
