Aerpro APCHUSB1 Mini USB to USB-A Male Retention Adaptor 110mm Cable Retains Factory USB Socket When Installing an Aftermarket Head Unit Suits Vehicles with Mini USB Connection
The Aerpro APCHUSB1 is a mini USB to USB-A male retention adaptor with a 110mm cable. It is used when replacing the factory head unit in vehicles fitted with a mini USB factory connection, allowing the factory USB socket to remain functional after the aftermarket head unit is installed.
Product overview
The APCHUSB1 bridges the connection between the factory mini USB socket in the vehicle and the standard USB-A input on an aftermarket head unit. Without this adaptor, the factory USB port in the centre console or dash would be non-functional after the factory radio is replaced. The 110mm cable provides enough length to route neatly behind the dash during installation.
