USB for Android Auto

[Emp]

Collecting a new Xpower from Hendy in Poole on Wednesday (deal was too good to pass on). Just a quick question, does Android auto work on both USB A and USB C?.

USB A only, the C does not carry data

USB A only, the C does not carry data

Thanks for confirming which cable to take with me ?

The USB-C port carries data, just not to the computer that handles Android Auto and Carplay. It can do USB music, and the infotainment software scans both ports for USB music and video.

I suspect that the AA/Carplay handling software is just too lazy to check both ports.

I've got one of these. The only problem is Amazon no longer have them in stock and don't know when they will be.

Hence why I didn't bother. I'll do that for sites I know, but not those I don't.
