I really liked this cable when I bought it in April this year but it has become unreliable. I only use this to connect to Android Auto in my VW as the angled connectors allow me to stow my phone without putting too much strain on the connectors. Now if I accelerate too fast or turn too much which causes the phone to move a bit, AA turns off. I don't expect miracles for less than $10, but I do expect the cable to last at least a year.
