You can't use the Lightning to USB cable if you want music; in your car, that will only charge your phone since your car isn't new enough to accept music over USB. You need the Y-cable plus one of the adapters I mentioned above. Or you can TRY just using your current cable AND a regular headphone cable, but I'm not sure that would work, and even if it did you'd have inferior audio due to the amped vs. line level audio issue I also mentioned above.
