Question Center Console Replacement and Dashcams?

I'm sure every Crossfire center console only has AM/FM radio and a CD tray, with no Bluetooth or modern media included. I've been considering replacing it to allow me to use Bluetooth or have some way to allow my phone to play music through the speakers. As of right now, I'm using a portable Bluetooth speaker to play music which gets the job done. I've been looking for CD-to-phone adapters online but have only seen cassette-to-phone adapters and Crossfire doesn't have a cassette tray. I know replacing it definitely will be expensive, but I was wondering if anyone had a better solution. Judging by appearance, I think I'd only have to replace the CD tray and media player which wouldn't be as much of a headache.

I also plan to get a dashcam as many would agree that you meet a lot of idiot drivers in America, any recommendations on that would also be helpful. I'd prefer a hardwired dashcam, not one that connects via smartphone or some dumb app as I've heard they're pretty unreliable.

I drive a 2004 Automatic, nothing special if that helps.

I appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

I have something like what's in the link I'm posting. It works pretty good and I can use my phone through it. The great thing is it just plugs into the lighter socket, no wiring.
The one I'm posting is newer and looks better than what I have. I still have the stock radio in my base roadster.
