Replacing your radio?

Keep your factory USB port

In many vehicles the factory USB port ends in a plug made for the factory radio. An adapter or retention harness changes it to a plug your new radio takes, so the port stays where it is. Pick your vehicle to see what's listed for it.

Will it run CarPlay?

Charging port or CarPlay port?

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto run over the USB data lines between your phone and your radio. A charging port is only wired to power, so your phone charges but the radio never sees it. Try both.

Pick a port Charging portWired to 12V power CarPlay-ready portWired to your radio's USB input

Plug your phone in

Phone charges: Not yet
CarPlay or Android Auto: Not yet

This port is wired to 12V power through a fuse, like a USB charger in the lighter socket. Plug your phone in and see what happens.

Tested with CarPlay and Android Auto

Each of these extends your radio's USB input to the dash, console or a panel. Check how much room there is behind the spot before you pick a shape.

Straight answers

Good to know before you buy

A port only runs CarPlay or Android Auto if it's wired to your radio's USB input. Charging ports, and USB chargers in the 12V socket, only charge.
Use a good cable. A worn or charge-only cable is a common reason CarPlay drops out.
An adapter or retention harness keeps the factory port working, but your new radio needs a USB input for it, usually on the back.
Several adapters can be listed for the same make. The plug behind your factory port decides which one fits, so text us a photo if you're not sure.
Long USB runs can be unreliable for CarPlay. Keep extensions as short as the job allows.

Our advice

Rather not plug in at all?

A wireless charging mount holds your phone and charges it without a cable, and the CA-16 adapter makes wired CarPlay or Android Auto wireless.

USB port questions

Why doesn't my new USB port run CarPlay?

It's probably a charging port. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto need the port to carry data to and from your radio. A charging port is wired to 12V power only, so your phone charges but the radio never sees it. The ports listed as tested with CarPlay and Android Auto are extensions of your radio's own USB input.

Do I need an adapter to keep my factory USB port?

On many vehicles, yes. The factory USB port often ends in a plug made for the factory radio, and an adapter or retention harness changes it to a plug your new radio takes. Pick your vehicle to see what's listed for it.

What's the difference between an adapter and a retention harness?

They do the same job: keep your factory USB port working with an aftermarket radio. iDatalink calls theirs adapters and Axxess calls theirs retention harnesses. Some also keep the factory aux jack.

Which adapter fits my car?

It depends on the plug behind your factory USB port, which can change between models and years. Use the finder above. If more than one is listed for your make, text us a photo of the plug, or your year, make and model, and we'll tell you which one to get.

Can I add a USB-C port?

Yes. The Accele USBR-QC has a USB and a USB-C port, and the Accele USBRCHDMID brings a radio's USB-C and HDMI ports to a panel you can reach. Check which connectors your radio has first.

Can you install it for me?

Yes. We install radios, USB ports and chargers at our Markham shop. Text or call us with your vehicle and what you want, and we'll quote it.

Do you ship across Canada?

Yes. Shipping is free in Canada on orders over $200, and smaller orders ship for a flat $10. We also ship to the US and worldwide; US orders may be charged duties at checkout.

Not sure which part you need?

Text us your year, make and model, or a photo of the plug behind your factory USB port. We'll tell you which part fits.
