That little cable guide helps us keep our lightning cables in reach. We just have to remember the silver-tipped one is for CarPlay.
Amazon has lots of hits under “cable organizers”. Here’s one such: Handy in many different places. In a pinch, Home Depot has some, but they’re a lot more expensive.
Good idea. I just ordered a set from Amazon, along with a 3 ft cable. I had been keeping my phone on the lower shelf with a short USB cable, but discovered that apparently it can dim the screen if it is face down or covered, presumably because of the phone light sensor. I also have a tendency to forget to take it with me when I exit the car. I plan to keep it in the drink holder, and the organizer should help to avoid dangling or misplaced cables
I really wish they would have put the USB ports in the center console rather than the shelf under the gear selector.
They had that on my 2012 Prius Plugin and I hated it. The USB plugs were always fighting it out with the CDs. Of course that is not a problem with the Clarity
I hate the look of cables laying around in the car. We have both iphones and android, too many cables! Has anyone tried one with a retractable cable? I have tried the short cables, and they are a little neater, but are a pain to use.
Thats why android auto and carplay need to be wireless as well... should just be able to use a wireless charging pad and never have to plug in my phone
I was thinking retractable as well. This one is and Amazon product and is Apple Certified so it shouldn't crap out after a week. The only thing i don't like about it is you have to pull it to get it to retract. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Apple-Certified-Retractable-Lightning/dp/B00M4QAQI4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1545252973&sr=8-4&keywords=retractable+lightning+cable Then there's this that's also Apple Certified and take care of the manual retraction, but is dang ugly... https://www.amazon.com/ONE-PIX-Charger-Certified-Lightning/dp/B01DFH8FVK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1545253658&sr=8-3&keywords=coiled+lightning+cable
Yeah, I was thinking of something like this, but so many times, the quality of them just sucks. https://www.amazon.com/SDBAUX-Retractable-Compatible-Replacement-USB-Powered-x/dp/B075YQH7LF/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1545256430&sr=8-10&keywords=usb+lightning+retractable+cable
How about a single cable for all three? I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Powerline-Lightning-Samsung-Smartphones/dp/B071WNQYV6/ which we use for charging when out and about. Haven't tried it yet in the car with Carplay and Android Auto.
