Can anyone recommend a favorite USB-C to A cable? I’m using CarPlay in a vehicle with only USB-A ports.

@michaelsteeber I'm using an official Apple braided USB-C cable and connecting it to a little dongle hidden inside my center armrest.

It's some no name brand but so far is working perfectly.

@fcloth I was going to do this as well before I heard a warning on the recent episode of ATP that these tend to be unreliable

@michaelsteeber I'm keeping a close eye on this one. I think as long as it's not plugged into something that wants to drink a lot of power, it's okay. So far it's stayed cool to the touch.
