Okay, so I grabbed this cable for my Audi A4 after upgrading to the iPhone 15. At first? Magic. Crystal-clear sound, no Bluetooth compression nonsense, and it charged my phone—win-win.

BUT. After a week, drama. The connector got STUCK in my car’s port like it owed me money. I yanked, twisted, even considered sacrificing a USB-C cable to the tech gods. Finally pried it loose with pliers (RIP my nails).

Sound quality? 10/10 when it works. Build quality? More like ‘will this survive my commute.’ Also, heads-up: if your car’s MMI system is 2G or 3G+, charging won’t work—audio only. Learned that the hard way after confusing my Jetta-owning friend.

Verdict: Great when functional, but feels like playing Russian roulette with your dashboard. Maybe keep needle-nose pliers handy.
