CarPlay cable for iPhone 15 16 17

This USB-A to USB-C cable links compatible iPhone models to a vehicle’s CarPlay system. It supports the iPhone 15, 16 and 17 series as well as iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd 4th 5th gen), iPad Pro 11-inch (1st 2nd 3rd gen), iPad Mini 6th gen and iPad Air 4th gen. The single cable handles both charging and data so the phone stays powered while CarPlay runs.

Charging and data performance

The cable delivers up to 2 A for fast charging while maintaining a stable data link for CarPlay. Power draw is limited to what the vehicle’s USB-A port supplies, so there is no extra load on the car’s electrical system. No active cooling or fan is involved, so operation stays silent during daily commutes or long road trips.

Upgrade from older Lightning cables

This cable replaces legacy Lightning-to-USB-A cords for owners who have moved to USB-C iPhone models. The jump is worth it when the phone and the vehicle both support USB-C CarPlay, removing the need for adapters. Buyers who still use Lightning-port iPhones or vehicles without USB-A ports will not benefit from this cable.

Questions about this item

How do I connect this cable for CarPlay in my car?

Plug the USB-A end into the vehicle's USB port and the USB-C end into your iPhone 15, 16 or 17; the car's infotainment system should launch CarPlay automatically once both ends are seated.

What part of this cable is most likely to wear out first?

The USB-C connector that plugs into the iPhone 15, 16 or 17 sees the most insertions, so its spring contacts and housing typically show wear before the USB-A side.

What limits charging speed during a long drive while using CarPlay?

The cable supports up to 2 A, so the vehicle's USB-A port or the phone's own power management will cap the rate before the cable itself does.
