Q: QuestionCan this adapter be used for Apple CarPlay connection? I currently use one that looks similar to this one but after changing my iPhone charger cord because of it disconnecting often I find that it might be the CarPlay adapter.

Asked 10 months ago by Steph.

• A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry! No, the Best Buy essentials™ - 10' USB-A 3.0 Male to Female Extension Cable is not designed for use with Apple CarPlay connections. For Apple CarPlay, you would need a specific Lightning to USB cable that is certified by Apple for use with CarPlay. It is possible that the issue with your current setup could be related to the cable, so it may be worth trying a new Lightning to USB cable that is certified for CarPlay to see if it resolves the disconnecting issue.

Asked 1 year ago by ben.

• A:Answer Hi Ben, Extension cables are not recommended with the Reolink Solar Panel as the voltage drop might be uncontrollable. If there is a short circuit in the cable, irreversible damage might be caused. For the Reolink Pro Plus Camera it will not work as well.
