Best USB-C cables for Android Auto 2022

Anker's charging cables are practically unmatched in terms of quality and value. This Nylon USB-C cable is extremely impressive with the braided nylon exterior, which is said to last for more than 12,000 bends and is offered in a few different colors and two lengths: 3.3 and 6-foot.

If you want a no-frills, yet reliable cable to use with Android Auto, then Cable Matters is a great option. This 6.6-foot cable offers "molded strain relief" to ensure that it will last through the bends and situations that may arise when plugging your phone in.

The AmazonBasics Cable is more than suitable to connect your phone to the Android Auto unit. In fact, it works with just about any USB-C device you can think of and has the added benefit of offering 10 Gbps transfer speeds.

Sometimes you don't need a cable measuring in at 6-feet, but rather, something short will get the job done. CableCreation is here to help with this 0.8-foot offering that, while short, is still supremely durable, rated to last for more than 10,000 bends.

For some folks, coiled cables are a thing of the past, but they are still great options for others who love the retro look. The Baseus Curly USB-C cable is one of those great cables that won't get tangled up, while also offering the ability to retract it between 0.8 and 3.3-feet.

Anker's Powerline III USB-C cable is perfect for just about any situation, including getting on the road with Android Auto. This cable measures in at 3 feet, but there are also longer or shorter cable lengths available. Anker also provides a "worry-free" lifetime warranty to go along with the rugged construction able to withstand up to 25,000 bends.

UGREEN's Fast Charger Cable is wrapped in nylon for added durability, comes in four different lengths, and is compatible with Quick Charge 3.0. The cable also has a built-in chip designed to make sure that your phone is charging as fast as possible, regardless of the situation. And if you need to take it out of the car, it works great for data transmission with sync speeds up to 480Mbps.

If you need or want something that can fit in a tight spot with a right-angle twist, this cable might just be the right fit (pun intended). Made with tough nylon braiding and multiple color options, the cables are positioned at a 45-degree right angle at both the USB-C and the USB-A sides. And they're super short, so you won't have more cable than you need. Plus, with two in the pack, you can use one and keep a spare in the glove compartment.
