## Frequently asked question

**Will it work on iPhone 15/16/+ with USB-C?**

Through other user test and support, USB-C iPhone will work but require some additional connection. You will need:

+ [Apple USB-C to lightning cable (C91)](https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MUQ93AM-A-USB-C-Lightning/dp/B0CX22JSR3?th=1) or 3rd party MFi certified USB-C to lightning cable (C94).

+ [Apple USB-C to lightning adapter](https://www.amazon.com/Apple-USB-C-to-Lightning-Adapter/dp/B0CHX5RZ8M).4

+ [USB-C to USB-C 3ft 60W](https://a.co/d/09gvpuvC) cable (best result). Higher wattage cable might require a couple retry for the first setup.

It is importance to use Apple genuine adapter. 3rd party adapter will not provide good charging rate.

**Which AndroidAuto wireless adapter will work?**

We have had positive report on AAWireless which has USB-C input. No USB-A wireless adapter has been tested or reported working from our customer. There should be no other USB-C adapter in between but only the Fast charge adapter here.

**Why I got slow charge or no charge at all**

Try to rotate one of the USB-C head 180 degree at the adapter. Also make sure that you are using USB-C to USB-C for all cables. USB-A will not work in this application.
