Baseus USB Type C Cable for Car, Retractable Cable(3FT) Curly USB A to USB-C Fast Charger Cord Compatible Samsung Galaxy S10 S9 S8 Plus Note 9 8, Moto Z, LG5/G6/V20, USB C Devices (Black)

In order to avoid any confusion with similar, competing products, this item currently under review, as described by the actual seller in his Amazon marketing webpage, is as follows: USB Type C Cable for Car, Baseus Retractable USB C Cable(3FT) Curly USB A to USB-C Fast Charger Cord, Compatible Samsung Galaxy S10 S9 S8 Plus Note 9 8, Moto Z, LG5/G6/V20, USB C Devices (Red).First of all, as a long-time and prolific Amazon buying customer of various products – – and a true gizmo/gadget fan to boot – – I’m always on the lookout for electronic products that are practical, functional and eye-appealing (ones that might “raise eyebrows” either from passengers in my car or from home visitors who come to share in my home theater experience and extensive hi-fi, full house coverage stereo system). Such is the description that motivated me to purchase this product not only once, but at least twice. Please allow me to elaborate.I spent a lot of time sourcing this product amongst the many informative Amazon reviews typically associated with such a popular electronic product. And so, in spite of my patient and diligent searching process, I still made the poor choice mistake of ordering not one, but two different items that I thought would generally function to fulfill my need: namely to work with my hi-fi music flash drives: my Android Auto program in my car and at my several home smartphone charger stations. It didn’t take long to get educated to the fact that USB and HDMI type cables are like automobiles and icebergs – – it’s what you don’t, or can’t see under the surface regarding hidden, potentially impacting features that down-the-line can “come back to haunt you.” In short, all electronic cables require much due-diligence before buying because their true functional integrity lies in what’s located under the otherwise colorful and pretty outer wire insulation and corresponding fancy looking connectors. In those prior instances of bad judgment, I was at least able to minimize the “damage” and return them under my Amazon return window of eligibility.So, let’s get down to the actual review of this product I eventually settled on. In this instance, there’s no better endorsement of a product than that of re-ordering it multiple times after the initial purchase and extensive trial period – – which, as previously stated, was the case in my circumstance. My primary need for this product was to find a coil-up, short spiral cable that would service my Android smartphone in my car – – this required onboard charging capability as well as the equally important data connectivity to the multi-functional Android Auto mobile program installed in my car by the manufacturer. The snazzy red color option was an unintended bonus as the cable has not only served me well to date but has also attracted the attention of my passengers owing to its cool color. When I received the first order and opening the package, it was so aesthetically pretty that I thought this item was a gimmick and would never function in the demanding World of data transfer dynamics. But so far, my initial instincts haven proven wrong and both the exact same cables have been functioning flawlessly.On thing of note: I noticed in preparing this review that several negative reviews regarding this product appeared from a a handful of disgruntled buyers. It seems that several of them have experienced total cable functionality failure after as little as a couple of months’ time. This seems odd as I’ve never ever experienced outright cable failure in any of my home electronic projects – – that is, after they’ve become proven over a period of time. Initial failure to perform, like the prior disappointments I returned, has happened to me on very few, if ever, occasions…. but never after several months of successful use. This “negative reviews” observation of mine bears watching as I now will be a little mentally tentative every time I use one of these cables that I adore.Worthy of additional mention are the following stats:1) 480Mb/s transfer speed, 2A Fast Charging capability.2) Compatible with a slew of Android phone products (since I’m a Samsung Android devotee, I cannot knowingly comment on this product’s iPhone compatibility.3) This product is a retractable Type C charging cable – – which means that the end that connects to the intended device is of the most up-to-date “C” rated connector type. It’s been my experience in the past that these new universal male “C” connectors will also work in the outdated USB mini female device receiving ports – – but this might be limited to specific applications, so buyer beware if your current intended use device is not of the inherent “C” type breed.4) All other relevant facts and stats can be found in the bottom section of the seller’s informative Amazon webpage.

I’ve tried so many cables over the years of using android auto and they all start showing disconnection issues at some point. I’ve had this cable for about a month now and it has been flawless. I also love the coils to keep things tidy.

I bought this for use in my vehicle to connect my phone and use android auto.Previously I purchased a Ventev helix cable and it was defective so I chose to try an alternative for my next purchase and I’m glad I did.The coil is nice and tight keeping any extra slack nice and neat. Both ends of the cable stay in the port tight and there’s no concern of it coming out under tension. The connectors and sturdy and don’t look like they’ll wear quickly from being bent. Also the braided cable is a nice feature that adds durability and prevents scratches on delicate surfaces.No connectivity issues so far and overall seems like a nice quality and perfect solution for a neat charging/vehicle set up.

A little pricey but very nice quality 👌

They work an keep control of cables.
