Exode Electronics
Active Power/Data Injector for Android Auto & Apple CarPlay.
Simultaneous 60 W fast charging — no trade-offs.
How It Works
Most vehicles only deliver 5 W of slow charging through their Android Auto and Apple CarPlay USB ports — because those ports are wired for data, not power. Every drive leaves your phone dragging behind.
This adapter actively manages USB Power Delivery, injecting up to 60 W from your own PD charger while simultaneously maintaining the full data connection your car needs. CarPlay and Android Auto run exactly as expected — and your phone charges at full speed the entire trip.
No drivers, no apps, no configuration. Plug in the three cables and you’re done.
Port Guide
| Port 01 | Car / Android Auto / CarPlay connection — USB-C to your vehicle’s port. Data only; power limited to 5 V / 0.5 A to stay protocol-compliant. |
| Port 02 | USB-C PD Fast Charger input — connect any USB-C PD car adapter here. This supplies up to 60 W injected to your phone. |
| Port 03 | Phone connection — adapter’s cable to your phone. Data and boosted charge power travel through this single cable. |
