USB A to USB C Apple Carplay
Hi Guys,
I got myself an iPhone 16 Pro and it has a USB input, I cannot seem to get it to work with the LC
Previously, the USB A (car) is connected to my lightning cable (also USB A), works (but the GPS is not so accurate)
Now, the USB A (car) is connect to my USB A to USB C cable, my iPhone 16 can charge but will not launch Apple CarPlay
Any advice?

Make sure you're using a proper data cable—not just a charging-only one. Also, the bottom USB port seems to be the only one that works with CarPlay in the LC based on my experience and what others have reported.

For a brief time, I used a Carlinkit 4.0 on my LC. Don't see why Carlinkit 5.0 would not work
I ultimately switched to an Ottocast Play2Video. The reason for the switch was because none of the Carlinkit's three resolutionsfilled the LC screen properly
The Ottocast units' resolution conforms to the LC screen just fine

this wireless carplay adapter has newer tech and is much faster than older ones. i have one in each car and it works flawlessly.
