A dedicated power injection adapter designed to overcome the power limitations of standard vehicle infotainment USB ports. Splitting the single USB connection from your phone into separate paths - one for data and one for power - it allows you to connect your device to your car's head unit while simultaneously sourcing high-current power from a separate USB-PD car charger.

For many drivers, using wired Android Auto or CarPlay results in a net battery loss, as the phone consumes energy for GPS and 5G data faster than the car's 0.5A USB port can replenish it. 

Beyond uses for headunits, this is engineered with makers and enthusiasts in mind. The unit supports the latest Programmable Power Supply (PPS) protocols, ensuring compatibility with "Super Fast Charging" on Samsung devices. The hardware is housed in a temperature-resistant PETG enclosure, capable of withstanding the heat of a car's interior (up to ~70°C) without warping or failing, offering a robust solution for daily commuters and road-trippers alike.

Core Features

  • Stop Battery Drain: Isolates the power line to inject up to 140W (28V/5A) from a fast charger, ensuring your phone charges rapidly even while performing demanding data tasks.
  • Universal Fast Charging: Compatible with USB Power Delivery (PD) and PPS standards, allowing modern Android devices (like the S24/S25 Ultra) to negotiate optimal charging speeds unhindered by the head unit.
  • Reliable Data Passthrough: Maintains a clean USB 2.0 High-Speed data link to the vehicle, ensuring lag-free Android Auto and CarPlay sessions.
  • Wireless Dongle Companion: Ideal for powering wireless adapters (like AAWireless) that require more current than the head unit provides, or for offloading the power load to a dedicated charger.
