Cables compatible with Android Auto

[Darel]

What cables are you guys using that play well with AA? I know "use the factory phone cable" but after 3 years I have no idea which one in the massive tangle of cables in my house is the factory one. I would much prefer a 90-degree plug on the USB-C end, if possible.

Searched on Amazon and this one claims to have the highest data transfer rate:

Thoughts?

Google/Android actually has a list of known good cables, but it's a bit dated.

Generally, your best bet seems to be to go with name brand cables, and make sure they are rated for data transfer, and not just charging. Amazon Basics seem to work well, as well as Anker. And of course, you can usually order a new oem cable as well.

I prefer the Anker cables that are designed for a lot of use. I get about a year out of them in the truck, and then they are only good for charging.

Anker cables are the way to go. Solid cables and Easy customer service. Can’t go wrong with them.
