No idea if something like a USB-to-analog-audio transceiver exists. (Some doing it in the other direction are available with an integrated amp to save rare vinyl records.) It could help to avoid Bluetooth radio in the car. Maybe an accessory from Fairphone?

That’s called USB soundcard. Some have headphone jack only and some have mic/line input.

this is just a (imho) crappy video with those pictures I found on monday.
from where for example are those side pictures of the FP4? I never saw them before and I’m not sure if they really fit with the rounded rounded long corners you can see on the pictures from the backside. From where do they have those pictures and all those specs?

You may well be correct or your images maybe the false ones, who knows, but they are not the same. The space between the buttons in the video are very far apart and don’t make sense.
Yeah, I hear you, but its also just a matter of having USB-C to 3.5 mm in your car.

The one on the right. Zoom in on the picture. It is not a camera, there is no lens to be seen. It therefore resembles a fingerprint sensor (which, ironically, is sortof like a camera). I also couldn’t believe it, until I zoomed in on the picture. Give it a whirl.

See what you mean - maybe a error in rendering. Those are non offical pictures.
To many reasons say differently. So lets see what the official announcement will say.
If the USB-C has audio out.
The USB-C is just the physical design it says little about which USB protocols it uses. For example the FP3 has USB-C but only USB 2

Well, it’s a bit more tricky. When I navigate, I tend to plug the charger in to make sure it doesn’t run ot of juice. The FP2 wold burn through a battery with an hour or so of navigation, so that’s quite essential. To get that se-tup working I’d need a USB-C cable that has both a 3.5mm jack for audio and a power input that can connect with the cig plug USB charger. Sounds a little more niche to me, but open to suggestions.
Something like this and a cable USBA male to USBC male to connect the unit to power

… if e.g. a 15 year old car features a USB-A port to power USB devices…
The idea of the response was to help the enquirer find a solution not to dictate one.

Too many bridges (plugs in sockets) for me, but better than a powerbank…

I’m sure there is a composite unit as I said I was only indicating a solution not advising.
Of course a simple environmentally sound solution, especially if a single adapter can’t be found would be to get rid of the car.

Thanks y’all, I appreciate the helpful comments. I’d still be gutted if it really doesn’t have a 3,5mm jack, but perhaps now a little less so.
Let’s first wait for the official announcements before mourning the loss of our great friend Jack.

I used my FP3 to navigate the other day (1+ hour). Had a powerbank w/me cause I was scared I wouldn’t make the day. Wasn’t needed, it maybe used like what was it, 30%? I really doubt you gotta juice up a FP4 in your car. But yes the fact you gotta choose sucks. Btw, wired could actually be better. It cannot be abused for tracking, and doesn’t require 2+ up to date Bluetooth stacks.

That SoC would be very much doable. It seems comparable to my Pixel 3 SoC. Which still runs super fast. Then again, Google keeps phones relevant for a long time by providing software improvements rather than hardware, like Fairphone. Hopefully Fairphone will do better on software with this phone.

You were talking about the use of 3,5GHz, no word about 5G

Excuse me, what .
If I get it right:
MITMed - Man In The Middle (fraud/hacking technic)
FWIW - For What It’s Worth
Not exactly your everyday abbreviations, though.
