Essri Car CarPlay Cable 3-Pack 1.6–6 ft
Product description
This USB-C car cable pack from Essri keeps iPhones and other USB-C devices powered and connected for CarPlay and charging while on the road. It combines quick charging and data sync in three lengths so you can plug in at the front seat, rear seat, or use a longer run for comfortable device placement during longer drives.
Key Points
This set includes three cables: 1.6 ft, 3 ft, and 6 ft, all finished in white. The cables support multiple fast-charge protocols according to the manufacturer, including 2.4A, QC2.0, QC3.0, QC4+, PE, PD, and PPS, which makes them compatible with a wide range of cars and chargers. They are rated for both charging and data transfer so CarPlay, syncing, and charging can happen simultaneously. The jacket is made from TPE with a soft silicone-like wire for flexibility and daily durability.

Usage Recommendations
Use the shortest cable for front-seat setups where the phone rests near the console, and the 6 ft option when you need more reach for passengers or dashboard-mounted devices. For CarPlay, connect the USB A end to your vehicle’s USB port and the USB-C to your iPhone or tablet, allowing simultaneous audio/navigation and charging. The soft, flexible TPE sheath helps prevent kinks when coiled in storage.
Positive Aspects
Compatibility extends beyond Apple devices to other USB-C phones and tablets, including many Samsung models and a range of iPad Pro and iPad Air generations, according to the manufacturer. The trio of lengths provides versatility for daily commutes and road trips, letting you choose the best cable for the seating position or mounting location. Note that charging speeds will depend on the car’s USB output and the connected charger, and this cable uses USB A to USB C rather than USB-C to USB-C, which may limit maximum PD rates with some modern chargers.
