Upgrade a signal USB port to 2

[joe7366]

I have a 2018 Chevy equinox LS, with one USB port. I have a USB flash key I want to use alongside with my IPhone for Apple CarPlay. I’ve tried to use USB hub‘s where it reads my phone as an iPod and does read the usb flash key but Apple CarPlay doesn’t work.

just wondering if anyone knows a trick to make both work or has anyone tried or attempted to upgrade the USB port from a signal to a duel with OEM part

Use the one in back seat

I don’t have one in the backseat I just have one in the front center console

I would suggest a USB port splitter. I use these types of devices for my laptops to give me additional USB ports.

I rather suspect you will not be able to use a hub/port splitter since there is no embedded software in the vehicle that will allow you to choose which USB source you want to access. Why not use bluetooth for your iPhone?
