Clean look and convenient USB access

More smartphones and flash drives are using a USB-C connector. If you're looking for a way to plug your USB-C device to your car stereo's rear USB-A port, Accele's USB-A to USB-C adapter is just what you need. Simply plug the male end of the 4-foot cable extension into the USB port on your stereo, then use the included bracket to secure the female USB-C connector under your dash. If you don't mind drilling a 0.75" hole, you can flush-mount this extension in the dash, an unused dash pocket, or center console for a refined, factory-style look.

Accele USBRCSUSB USB-A to USB-C extension cable

If you don't mind drilling, this extension cable can be flush-mounted for a clean look.

Works with Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto®

This Accele cable is also compatible with car stereos with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Once this extension is plugged directly into the stereo's rear USB port, you can use a cable compatible with your phone to connect to the extension's USB-C female port on your dash.

Note: This extension cable should not be used in conjunction with other extension cables.

Product highlights:

4' USB-A to USB-C extension cable for connection to a car stereo's rear USB-A input
male USB type-A connector on one end and a female USB type-C connector on the other end
compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto car stereos (not to be used in conjunction with other USB extensions)

includes underdash mounting bracket
warranty: 1 year

Features

USB Extension Cable: The Accele USB Extension Cable connects to the rear-panel USB-A port on the back of your in-dash head unit and provides a convenient USB-C connection on the dash or under the dash for your smartphone or USB-C thumbdrive.

Fully compatible with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, but should not be used in conjunction with another USB extension cable if you are planning to use CarPlay or Android Auto.
The Accele USB Extension Cable should be plugged directly into the rear-panel USB-A of your car receiver (it will replace the USB extension that comes with your receiver; not designed to be used in conjunction with it).

USB 3.0 Connectors: The Accele USB Extension Cable features a male USB-A 3.0 connector and a female USB-C 3.0 port.

Male USB-A Connector: The USB Extension Cable's male USB-A 3.0 connector plugs into the rear-panel USB-A port of your aftermarket head unit.
Female USB-C Port: The USB Extension Cable's female USB-C 3.0 port lets you connect your smartphone or USB-C thumbdrive.

Mounting Options: The Accele USB Extension Cables offers two mounting options - Flush Mount or Under-Dash Mount.

Flush Mount: The USB Extension Cables offers a flush mountable design. You'll need to drill a 0.75" hole at the desired mounting location and snap the end of the USB Extension Cable in place for a factory OEM look.
Mounting Bracket: The USB Extension Cable also features a mounting bracket that can be used to mount the USB connector without drilling the 0.75" hole in the vehicle. Just snap the USB Extension Cableinto the bracket and mount it under the dash. The under dash bracket secures into place with two screws (not included).

2 questions already asked

Will this cable work with the Jensen CAR8000 (USB-A ) and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (USB-C) for Android Auto and charging?

mark Apr 07, 2024

1 answer

The Accelle USBRCSUSB is fully compatible with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto but should not be used in conjunction with another USB extension cable if you are planning to use CarPlay or Android Auto, Mark. The Accele USB Extension Cable should be plugged directly into the rear-panel USB-A of your car receiver replacing the USB extension that comes with your receiver and not designed to be used in conjunction with it. Since your Jensen CAR8000's USB cable is permanently attached to the rear chassis we cannot guarantee compatibility. If for some reason you had any issues with Carplay or Android Auto, the Accele USBRCSUSB can be returned for a refund within your 60-day satisfaction guarantee period.

This could be used to replace a cigarette lighter fixture in a vehicle, but may not be an exact fit. It may require some custom installation work.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
