If you’re looking for iPhone 15/iPhone 15 Pro and CarPlay compatible USB-C to USB 3.1 Gen2 cable, you might want to try Anker PowerLine II cable.
I happened to have a braided Anker PowerLine+ II USB-C to USB-A cable that I bought back in 2018; which is no longer available for purchase. It works with iPhone 15 for CarPlay; for CarPlay-compatible automobiles that are still equipped with USB-A port.

I also have some other USB-C to USB-A cables. Almost all of them are not CarPlay compatible as they are primarily charging cables; not for data transfers.
Out of curiosity, I purchased Anker iPhone LED Flash.
This would be great to use when taking photos with iPhone; so I convinced myself. As many have said, the best camera you can use is the one you have with you. I generally use the iPhone as main camera because it is, well, with me almost all the time.
Brightness: Up to 4× brighter and with up to twice the range of the native iPhone camera flash
Cable Length: 1.5 m when extended, 25 cm when contracted
Dimensions: 1.75 x 1.5 x 1.65 in / 44.5 x 38 x 42 mm
Weight: 2.61 oz / 74 g
One thing I immediately noticed about this iPhone LED Flash is Lightning Charging Port and Tripod Mount. I meant Two, two things that I noticed about this are Lightning Charging Port, Tripod Mount and Lightning Connector. Ah, that’s three. (…)

The iPhone LED Flash can also be sued used independently as a flashlight, thanks to its built-in 700mAh battery. That’s what the Lightning Charging Port is for, charging the battery. By the way, it seems that the LED Flash battery is also charging when connected the iPhone via the Lightning Cable. I’ll do more test to confirm this.

there are a lot of application to this LED Flash. Generally I do not use iPhone built-in Flash on regular basis, because I don’t like how the photo looks. I do use the flash when I’m photographing something in a controlled lighting environment.
Should I be able to control my desire to slack, I’d be posting some photos using this iPhone LED Flash in the future. That’s because I have not yet perfected the art of Time Travel.
I bought an Anker Air Vent Magnetic Car Mount from Amazon.com. It works well with an iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7 Plus. I have only been using it for one day, so there is no need to pretend to know a lot about this product yet.
I prefer using the turn-by-turn direction on the phone than the built-in car navigation system. Mounting the phone by the air vent certainly is certainly better than mounting it on the windshield.
