Some kind of Jupiter Jack App?

Alright, hopefully, I dont get razzed or thrown around for this. I never had to do this kind of thing before, but I am kind of running out of options here. Here is my problem:

I drive a carpool five days a week picking up my coworkers and dropping their kids off to the sitters. This run has me using my cell phone (A Metro PCS 4G Coolpad) a lot, and now that i have a stand for it to sit on in the work van, I want to try and use my radio as a glorified headset via the Auxillary input. Problem: Sound comes out OK, but so long as that speaker plug is in, the phone thinks its a headset and not speakers and therefore, will not separate the mic part to be from the phone itself. Result: I can hear them, they cant hear me.

I thought one solution is maybe an app that helps with this separation (i.e. a setting where the speakers are through the aux while the mic stays with the phone) So far, my searches in Google Play have been fruitless. Anyone know of an app that can do that, preferably free?
