Review on Powerful USB Type-C Cable for Phones with Extra Power Support by Tony Conlon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as I expected.

Works great. I have a 2018 Crosstrek Premium and a Galaxy S8 phone. I've found that the USB port on the center console only keeps my phone charged when using Android Auto (with GPS and audio streaming) and doesn't actually charge the phone. My car only has 1 USB port for power/data but there is an additional cigarette lighter socket next to it. So I bought this cable and plugged the USB power/data connector into the stock USB port on my Subaru and the USB power connector into the cigar lighter socket with a USB power adapter. My phone now charges when using Android Auto (GPS and audio streaming) instead of just maintaining a current charge.

Pros
  • Two USB connectors, one for USB power and data, the other for USB power only. Length: 60 cm
Cons
  • not reliable
