Broken headphone jack options?

It appears my headphone jack is not working. I have researched the forums and realize this is a common problem and have tried the non-obtrusive methods (except a hard reset).

I had used a FM modulator that connected to my Axim via the headphone jack to play over my truck's radio. My truck's stereo does not have an input jack. What options are there for me? Because the Ax is getting kinda old I am reluctant to send it off to be fixed. I am also wary of breaking into the innards and repairing it myself.

Is there some type of bluetooth device that will can transmit to the stereo?
I have an Axim X51 running WM5. It has bluetooth which seems to be working fine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I discovered the cause of the problem and was able to correct it . The cause was not hardware but a software setting. I have a mixer program installed called X50 and the headphone boost had been set too high. I reduced the boost and the headphones now work. I assume the FM modulator/ truck stereo will also work.
