ok something like this
Amazon Amazon

Its a 3.5mm aux input cable I have heard people in stores call them many things but to make it simple for you it looks like a headphone jack on both sides.

This won't let you control your device from the HU or steering wheel but will play the music and calls through the speakers mic duty is still integrated mic on phone. But since you use Bluetooth it should use that instead anyway.

It's unfortunate that we cannot bluetooth stream music in our cars. A simple auxiliary cable will do the trick for you but as stated you won't be able to control it through the head unit or steering wheel controls. For that to happen you would have to go with a little more expensive route and install an ipod kit in the glove box.

Heck even the ipod kit you can't control on the HU you have to use IC and steering wheel it is super annoying I really wish I could rip it out and go back to AUX in.
