Faster Charging with Android Auto?



So, my 2014 Kia Soul ! got a new map update that included Android Auto. I love the functionality, but the Soul only outputs .5 amps to the phone and it isn't enough to charge it, I slowly lose a charge while driving, about 5 percent in my 47 minute commute. I've been trying to figure out a solution and think I may have based on this thread.

if I were to get the same cable mentioned in there...

And then put a Micro USB to Type C adapter on the end, I'd get a faster charge and have Android Auto still work, right?

Anyone else think it's worth a try?

Got any other ideas?
