Aux port replacement/iPhone cable

The Aux port on my M coupe has started to turn really flaky. When you plug it in all the way, I only get sound out of one speaker, but you can usually finagle it to get it to kind of work. I've tried 2 or 3 cables and that's definitely not the issue (plugged them into other things and they work fine), so I figure I just need to replace the aux port (no biggie).

Typically I am using my phone with pandora/etc to listen to music, and historically I've just plugged the phone and charger in and I'm good to go. I recently upgraded to the iPhone 7, which we all know does not have a headphone jack, so I can't charge and listen to music easily (without buying additional stuff).

Did a little bit of searching around, and I've seen these cables on eBay that have an Aux cable and iPhone plug which would allow me to do exactly what I'm after. Seeing how I have to replace the Aux port anyway, I figured this would be a nice upgrade/replacement, but curious if anyone has tried this or something like it?
