Product Overview

The CAC USBTY2 solves the USB port retention challenge when replacing factory head units with aftermarket stereos in Japanese vehicles from 2012 onwards across Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Honda, and Subaru brands. Factory USB ports integrated into vehicle dashboards and center consoles become non-functional when original head units are removed during aftermarket installations. This adapter maintains USB port functionality, preserving convenient smartphone charging and data connections in factory locations after aftermarket head unit upgrades, ensuring drivers retain essential connectivity features expected in modern vehicles across multiple Japanese manufacturers.

The retention adapter interfaces between factory USB sockets and aftermarket head units, ensuring original USB locations remain operational. This maintains dashboard aesthetics and convenient USB access without adding aftermarket USB extensions or losing factory port functionality designed into these vehicles' architecture. The generous 335mm cable length provides extended reach for more complex dashboard installations or vehicles where USB ports are located further from head unit positions, offering installation flexibility across diverse vehicle configurations from compact cars to large SUVs.

Compatible with select Toyota models from 2012+, Lexus from 2013+, Mazda 3 from 2013-2016, Honda City from 2014+, and Subaru WRX MY15, covering wide range of popular Japanese vehicles sold in Australian market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do I need this adapter for my Toyota, Lexus, or other Japanese vehicle?

A: When replacing factory head units with aftermarket stereos in Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Honda, or Subaru vehicles from 2012+, the factory USB ports integrated into dashboards and center consoles become non-functional. The USBTY2 retention adapter maintains USB port functionality, preserving convenient smartphone charging and data connections in factory locations after aftermarket head unit installation.

Q: What's the difference between USBTY2 and USBTY3 adapters?

A: The USBTY2 features a longer 335mm cable and supports a wider range of vehicles including Toyota 2012-2021, Lexus, Mazda, Honda, and Subaru models. The USBTY3 has a shorter 13cm cable and is designed specifically for newer Toyota models from 2018+ (Camry, Hiace, Hilux, Prado, Rav4). Check your vehicle's model year and the compatibility lists to determine which adapter suits your specific vehicle.

Q: Will this work with my 2020 Toyota Hilux?

A: The USBTY2 supports Toyota Hilux 2014-2020. However, some 2020+ Hilux models may use the newer USBTY3 adapter depending on specific build date and USB configuration. For 2020 Hilux models, verify your USB connection type or consult with a professional installer to confirm whether you need USBTY2 (2014-2020) or USBTY3 (2020+).

Q: Is the 335mm cable length necessary for all vehicles?

A: The 335mm cable provides installation flexibility for vehicles where USB ports are located further from the head unit position or where more complex routing is required. While not all vehicles need this extended length, it ensures the adapter works across diverse dashboard configurations in the wide range of compatible Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Honda, and Subaru models.

Q: Will this work with wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto head units?

A: Yes, the USBTY2 maintains factory USB port functionality regardless of aftermarket head unit type. While wireless CarPlay and Android Auto eliminate phone connection cables for infotainment, the retained factory USB ports still provide convenient charging and data transfer for smartphones, passengers' devices, and USB drives.

Q: My 2015 Lexus IS has factory USB ports - will this work?

A: The USBTY2 is compatible with Lexus models from 2012+. However, specific Lexus models may have variations in USB connection types. Verify your Lexus model and check the USB connection behind your factory head unit to ensure compatibility. For Lexus vehicles, it's recommended to consult with a professional installer to confirm the USBTY2 is correct for your specific model.

Q: Will the factory USB ports charge my phone at the same speed after installation?

A: Yes, the USBTY2 maintains original USB port charging specifications. Charging speed depends on your factory USB port's power output (typically 1A, 2.1A, or 2.4A depending on vehicle model and year) and remains unchanged after adapter installation. The adapter provides transparent USB signal and power transfer.

Q: Can I return this if it doesn't fit my vehicle?

A: We cannot accept returns for incorrect vehicle compatibility selection. Customers are responsible for verifying their vehicle model year, USB connection type, and factory configuration before purchase. Check your factory head unit's USB connections or consult with a professional car audio installer to ensure the USBTY2 is correct for your specific vehicle before ordering.
