So this product has terrible reviews all over the web and everyone complains that it doesn't work for apple car play and android auto. I can confirm this DOES work in a 2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS WITH MODIFICATIONS. The long story short is that this cable is simply too long and needs to be shortened. All of the pin outs are in the correct location for data, power, and aux transmission as I compared this cable to the factory wiring harness that it replaces. The problem with this cable and what I suspect makes it unusable for almost everyone who tries it, is that the cable is too long and the wiring is not copper. I also believe this wiring is too small of gauge and creates too much resistance . It is simply unable to carry the data all the way back to the stereo from the factory usb port. I realized that with a short 2" iPhone cable connected that it would sometimes recognize and activate carplay. So what I ended up doing to get this to function properly, was cut about 15" out of the usb cable and splice it back together. I shortened the entire length of the cable in half. This GREATLY reduced resistance down the wire, improved signal strength and completely fixed the issues that everyone has with carplay not working and phones not charging or being recognized. The other problems with it, are that it does not include pins for the illumination lights. This cable only has AUX L/R and 4 Pin USB and ground wires.

Before purchasing make sure your radio has AUX IN ports and USB. The one i bought didnt have AUX IN but had usb so i dont get the full functionality but i can charge my phone with it.
