One of the best upgrades. In this day and age, CarPlay/android auto is a must.Also in addition to existing angled aux cable got this angled USB cable.
It is 9" odd long. So iPhone can be put upside down in compartment under climate control.
Just a precaution to avoid any damage.
Could you share the brand of this angled usb cable? Or where you got it from? I am not finding any with downwards cable direction like yours.
Also I would like to entice you into wireless CarPlay/android auto . For ~$40 USD Using a carlinkit 5.0 air2 it is working perfectly. Been using one for 3 months now and there is no trouble with latency or disconnections. Calls and music work as usual too. It is on another level of comfort. For charging you can use 12v, it is faster also.
