My Subaru Outback has two USB ports just above the phone slot. However, traditional cables are difficult to install behind the shifter. This 18" cable with right angle adapters on both ends is perfect for running Android Auto on my car. It seems that most cables are 3 feet long, which is way too long. my Samsung S9 has an OtterBox Symmetry case and all connections work great. This appears to be a very high quality product, however this is only revealed over time. If you're from Jack's family and have storage space and use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, you need this cable in your car!
