USB to USB-C

Hey guys, I’m wondering if it’s possible to replace the media USB to a USB-C. And still be functional for my Apple CarPlay. All my charging cards for my iPhone are USB-C. Here’s a pic. Thanks in advance.

 

Mmmmm......balance of nature veggies.

 

I just bought some little adapters. No need to switch it all.

 

.........buy a $5 USB-A cable for you phone....leave it there...am I missing something?

 

My connector has issues. I tend to have to disconnect and reconnect the usb cable in order for my car play to work which get annoying. I’ve tried switching the cable and no luck.

 

The usb c is better than the standard usb for transferring data.

 

Makes no difference for the headunit

 

Just buy a usb c to usb a cable.

 

As mentioned above, you will not see any improvement in performance by switching the connector itself. The host device(Headunit) must be capable of the better transfer speeds, its not.

If the stock connector is flakey it may cause connection issues, but its probably just the Toyota carplay being not a great experience

 

Haha.. Nah they are glucose tablets. Im a diabetic.

 

Ok cool. Wasn’t sure if the adapters would still work for CarPlay. Thanks

 

Yea I could. But was just asking if it’s possible to switch them out. I’m gonna be adding some USB-C chargers for the rear seats so thought I would ask.

 

Not looking for improvements in performance. Just thought it would be a cleaner install. Rather than use a USB to USB-C adapter.

 

I bought some little adapters usb to usb-c and CarPlay works fine so far. Plus you’ll save yourself some time and work.

you can use an adapter.

or you could just buy one of many widely available usb-a to lightning cables. they've been the standard for many years. no adapter required.

 

if you want to go waaayyyy overboard you could get a USB-C keystone jack, and 3D print the keystone blanks.

Here is a good cable that might suit your needs. The USB-C connector has wiring that is backwards compatible with the older style USB port so there is no loss of quality. They designed it like this so the new cable could support the bazillion devices that use the older connector

 

Y’all use Carplay?

 

How are you adding the rear seat chargers? Sounds like a great idea!!
