Nexus 6P, Android Auto, faster charging question?

So, my 2014 Kia Soul has a new map update that is arriving in the mail tonight, and it includes Android Auto. I know I have to connect my device directly to the USB plug in my car to use it, but I have some questions for everyone.
I want to be able to keep my phone QUICK charging at 3A but also connect for the USB requirements for Android Auto. I also have a 32gb micro sized USB drive I'd like to keep plugged in, as it is loaded up with great driving music. I can live without the USB drive if needed, but really want to keep the ability to quick charge.
If I use an adapter like this one.

And connect the Type C connector on that to my phone, and then the Type C USB charger in my car to this, can I connect a Type A male to Type A male cable to satisfy Android Auto?
I hope this makes sense. I'm thinking it'll work, but maybe someone else has tried it. I have this adapter from some testing I did, but don't have a male to male type A USB cable to test out with yet.

I am almost sure it won't work. And where will you get 3A power to quickcharge? Cars usb are not prepared for that.

I would get to 3 amp power from where I get it now, the quick charger that I put in my car as mentioned above.
So the USB C cable would go from my current charger to the USB C in port on this adapter, which is designed only for charging through that port, then a USB A to USB A cable to connect the car USB port to the USB A port on the adapter.
I picked up a short USB a male to male cable earlier today so I can test this on Friday.

Question regarding Android 6 Head Unit and USB Hub

I have what is hopefully a simple and straight forward question. I purchased this unit about 12 months ago https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot...&orderId=87843158798481&productId=32807153130 and I have both a DVR USB Camera and DAB+ Module connected to the 2 USB ports on the rear of the unit.
It appears that one of the USB ports is faulty, so I can only get reliable DVR or DAB+ but not both. If I were to buy a small, simple USB Hub like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/keb...-Splitter-Hub-Adapter-For-PC/32889011052.html, connected it to the working USB and then connected the USB Camera and DAB+ Module to the hub, would this work?
Thanks for reading!

I'm not certain if it works correctly on Android 6, but on my unit that has Android 8 i have a similar USB Hub connected that has a memory stick, the TPMS receiver and the receiver for a wireless keyboard, they all work correctly.
Taking into account how cheap a USB Hub is, i think it's worth checking it out.
Also, i managed to get one of the USB connectors into the glove compartment and connect the USB Hub into it, so the devices are easily accessible but not too visible.
Note, if you can take the unit out and send it to a service, they can probably fix the USB connector (the one that doesn't always work), it might have a loose connection, they sometime come loose and can be resoldered to the motherboard.
Also, if you open the unit and check the motherboard, some units have a 3rd internal connector that needs an adapter, not all of them though.

question regarding USB ports

Hi!
I just bought Joying Intel Android 8.1. unit.
And I decided to put heatsink, and 5V fan.
My idea is to plug 5V fan into one of Joying USB ports.
My question is - does anybody knows how much output does those ports have (is it standard 5V spec, and 200+mA?)
Unit I bought is this one:

And what are differences between USB OTG and regular USB port on this devices?
Thanks a lot!

Where to buy a replacement device cable

I have an Android head unit I received for free, but it's missing the device cable. The unit has a sticker on the back that says AC-9216B-2+16GB. I was able to figure out what pins were for the battery connection, ground, and accessory. using some clip leads I was able to get it to power up and I found a complete wiring diagram in the settings displayed on the screen. I just need to find the 16 pin connector to be able to use this unit. The clip leads barely hold on and fall off with the slightest movement.
I'll attach some pictures with the device info and the connector.
Any help for where to buy the device cable would be greatly appreciated. It came with the GPS antenna, the backup camera cable, the A/V cable, and the two USB cables. It was just missing the main cable that has the connections for the power, and speakers. It also came with a USB dongle that is supposed to add Android Auto.
I see a lot of posts about this type of unit (8227L) with instructions for how to unlock the bootloader and flash custom ROMs. So if I can find a cable, I should be able to make this unit work pretty well.

You can buy the cable from aliexpress just search for shops:
Carload
Podofo
Both sell 8227L devices and you can get the cables from them.

Thanks for the tip. It took a little searching, but I found the correct cable. If you search for "XY AUTO Android Solution Interface" They come right up. The power cable was only $1.82. I ordered two since I was paying almost $5 for shipping. Of course they will take a month to get here from China.

Head Unit not delivering enough Power…

Hey guys
So my headunit that I put inside my 2004 E46 does not support Apple CarPlay from the start.
The unit runs android (10)
I bought a adapter and tried to install the app that It comes with but nothing… no signal.
So the issue seams so be that there is not enough power coming out of the USB port from the headunit.
When I use a splitter and plug the end for power into the lighter usb charger and the data one into the usb dongle it works no problem but it looks ****ty …
Any way or any adapter that I can get this fixed with?
