Description: Many car models keep the USB port for CarPlay/Android Auto powered on even when the car is off. When you plug in a wireless adapter into this port, it causes many issues such as: When your car is parked in your home's garage, your phone will connect to the wireless adapter and you will start missing notifications because the phone switches to driving mode. It will also start using mobile data instead of your home WiFi.If you walk up to the car while on a phone call, your phone connects to the adapter too soon and you won't be able to hear the other person because the car has not booted up yet. Same issue when you walk away from the car after parking.If you have several short stops on your trip, your phone will not connect to the adapter properly and you won't be able to use CarPlay/Android Auto because the wireless adapter has not been shut down correctly during your stops.The wireless adapter drains power from the car even when it is not being used. Some people use a USB cable with a power switch and turn it on/off manually whenever you need to use CarPlay/Android Auto. Or you can unplug the wireless adapter whenever you turn off the car. These solutions are not seamless, look ugly and don't work well. With this power adapter, you have one simple and clean solution to this irritating problem. 1. Plug the adapter into your car's USB port that is used for CarPlay/Android Auto. 2. Plug in a USB-C cable for power into the adapter. Use a port which is only on when the car is on. Most Kia and Hyundai vehicles have USB-C ports that are only on when the car is on. If your car doesn't have such a port, you can use a cheap power plug in your cigarette lighter. 3. Plug your wireless CarPlay/Android Auto adapter into the power adapter. That's it! Now you can enjoy a seamless wireless CarPlay/Android Auto experience that is similar to a manufacturer built-in wireless experience! Your phone will connect to wireless CarPlay/Android Auto only when the car is on and it will disconnect instantly when the car is off. Notes:A. Please check pictures and plug in correct direction.
