Cigarette Lighter Not Powering External Screen
Hi Guys,
I purchased a plug and play android screen for Apple CarPlay. It requires the cigarette lighter cable, and works no issues.
I purchased a UGreen 130w cigarette lighter splitter, with 2 USB C and 1 USB A port. When I plug in a 100w capable cable to either ports, my android screen won't boot up. This sucks because I want the one with the spliter, so I can have my android screen and dash cam. I tried buying another brand (160w) - same problem.
What's wrong? Why can't I power the screen even if its the only thing connected to the splitter? Phone charges fine, and obviously my cig lighter is working because the original cable boots up my screen.
