Did not work

I bought the Android Auto charger device and it did not work. I connected the power to a twelve volt supply plugged into the cig lighter.
It did nothing. It did not connect to Android Auto and it did not power the phone. It did not work at all.

In my opinion, one of the great travestries of wired Android Auto and Carplay is that vehicle manufactures and aftermarket head unit manufacturers don't provide enough voltage over their USB connections. People are running maps and streaming music and if they are lucky, their modern phone battery can at best hold a charge while plugged in, and many actually lose charge while connected. This little invention eloquently alleviates that issue, and combines 12V power with the head unit's data connection, all while converting to a modern USB type C female port that installs in your dash with a 20mm hole. I used a step bit (christmas tree bit) to get a perfect round hole in my VW's blank switch cover and tapped into the cigarette lighter wires. It works well. I'd love it more if it could charge at 20W or more for today's quick charging phones, but 15W is double the power from the head unit's USB A cable.
