    Anyone come across a bidirectional USB switch with 2 type A ports for input and 1 type A port for output? Want to connect both CarPlay & a USB music stick without always having to swap them out to use the one port going to the head unit.

    A hub won't work unless it's an OTG hub which I can't find either.

    Bump? anyone figure this out? I'd like do connect the hub behind the dash, leaving the one port where it is, and routing another up to where my phone holder is.
