I'm curious if this also works for USB-A to USB-C. The use case: My Suburu has USB-A inputs and only allows wired Carplay. When I upgraded my iPhone and ditched Lightning, I had to try 6 different cables from my cable drawer to find one that supported data transfer.
I have so many cables I've accumulated over the years, I should either purge or at least categorize the functionality of each.

This adapter works with my Android phone and makes my Android Auto wireless: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008214786824.html
But it is the second product I tried; the first one didn't work (it's a 2020 Stellantis car). So, YMMV.
I'd recommend a wireless CarPlay adapter. I bought one for my car, and it's a game-changer.

I see other folks provided options, in case you want to avoid aliexpress, this one worked for me for the past 4 years
