Just bought VW branded USB to Micro USB

Post by grazuncle2 »

I had been looking for some shorter leads but of good quality. Cheap ones can be high resistance. One perfectly good 'looking' lead let me charge a phone at only .3 amps whilst another original phone lead charged at .9 amps from the same outlet (it is only a 1 amp charger)

These are right angled too! £2.50 inc post!

And no.. I'm not selling them or know the seller : LOL

PS.. Most of my electronics have micro USB connections but I have some small Micro USB to USB -C adapters in the car for these leads when needed.. still give good current through them too.

I was given one of these when I got my car from the dealer, a year and a half later and it still works.

They even have the VW branding on the ends!

Dread to think the retail price of these!

I got one for free from the dealer when I collected my car last year. Never had any issues with it and it’s the ideal length for connecting the phone to the USB port when it’s in the cubby space below the heater controls.

I just asked the dealer for an android and iphone cable and they gave me both for free...
