Apple Car Play compatible cords.
 
Been looking for something heavier duty than the factory apple cord for headunit. An old scosche or seems to work, but I tried a flat version also from scosche but it will only charge the device off the headunit. Doesn't function correctly with carplay.

This one didnt work either. Both MFi Certified.

Any leads on cords, cheap heavier duty and works with car play?

I bought a red lightning cable from Walmart. It works great with my iPhone 6.

Seems almost like luck of the draw. Some work other dont for no particular reason seemingly.

I've used two of these and not had an issue. (one broke thanks to a passenger's arm)

I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe borrow some from some friends who are just using their for charging and trade with them?

I'm not gonna order another set until Im "sure-sure" they'll work. Or cover with heat shrink a stock Apple cord if worse come to worse. lol

Bought a $6 cable at ampm. Works perfect with car play. Heavy duty as well. Scosche... I’m disappointed. End.

Apple Car Play compatible cords.
 
I got the Genuine Audi Apple Carplay Android Auto Interface Cable with flexible USB plug.

I think I got it from https://www.ebay.com/itm/184187834361eBay

I use one for CarPlay (also charges the phone) and the other for Echo auto.

Have been using it for more than a year. No issues! Being flexible is great plus!

Thanks
