**This adapter will not work with IPhone 15**

**Note:** Due to the design of the USB-C Receptacle. You might have to **rotate the Power plug** to have a connection. Do not mix 5A cable and 3A cable for PD, this can cause your 3A cable to fail if pulling too much current. 

#### Commonly Asked Questions

**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](https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MUQ93AM-A-USB-C-Lightning/dp/B0CX22JSR3?th=1) (C91) or [3rd party MFi certified USB-C to lightning cable](https://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Delivery-Charging-Certified-iPhone14/dp/B0CDFHPXNF) (C94).

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

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 report working from our customers.

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

Try to rotate the power USB-C head by 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.
