Hi and welcome to Android Central!

Let me get this right, you have a jack connected to the headphone port on your Nexus 5 with the other end connected to the stereo?

First do headphones work ok on the Nexus?

If the headphone port is working fine then it must be the stereo side. Do you need to select an AUX channel on the car stereo?
