CarPlay spring cable
A DOCTOR METAL USB-A to Lightning spring cable built for CarPlay projection in vehicles. The coiled design keeps the link tidy while allowing the phone to move freely inside the cabin. It targets drivers who want a stable wired connection to the infotainment screen without loose cables across the console.
Coiled layout for vehicle installs
The spring construction retracts automatically, so the cable stays short when the phone is docked and extends only when needed. A USB-A plug goes into the car’s port or charger, while the Lightning end connects the iPhone. No extra adapters or power bricks are required beyond the vehicle’s own USB socket.
Stable signal on long drives
Supplier data notes anti-interference shielding and lossless decoding, so audio and video remain in sync during extended trips. The jacket is rated for repeated flexing and heat dissipation, meaning the cable tolerates daily coiling and temperature swings inside a parked car.
