The type-c interface can be connected to a mobile phone in a car to charge the phone, and can also be used to transfer data. The type-C interface has many uses. With the popularity of the type-C interface, many cars will use it, but the USB interface will not be completely replaced for a long time in the future.

With the development of technology, there are more and more car functions in cars, and the systems are becoming more and more complex. Many cars now support Carplay and Carlife functions.

Carplay allows iPhone to connect to car phones, while Carlife allows Android phones to connect to car phones.

After connecting the mobile phone to the car phone using the above two systems, you can navigate, answer and make calls, listen to music, watch movies, and use the voice assistant to Control car phone.

So Carlife and Carplay are very convenient to use.

However, when using Carlife or Carplay to connect to the car, a data cable must be used.

It is recommended that everyone use the original data cable that comes with their mobile phone, as the original data cable has data transmission function. Many later purchased miscellaneous data cables only have charging function but no data transmission function. Using this data cable to connect the mobile phone and car phone does not have any response.

If you don't have a type-C interface in your car but need to use it, you can buy an adapter.
