In truth there is very little point having FLACs in car as opposed to 320kbps MP3. You won't hear any difference even with top end Bose kit or similar due to road and wind noise etc.
Its an interesting project but you will never get the infotainment system to read the contents of a Pi no matter what you use. As others have said a phone can connect to the infotainment system in a number of ways but total control is not always available via the car. I have an iPhone with FLAC Player installed (its an app with a clunky mechanism for loading FLACs) but if I ask the car to play Bluetooth from said phone it will try to play what is in the native iTunes thingy (which is empty). If however I start play in the FLAC Player app on the phone then I can control volume, play and pause and next etc but I can't choose a different playlist or album via the car. For this reason the best option remains USB thumb drive with 320kbps MP3. I have a 32Gb drive which holds more than suffiicient music for even the longest journey.
