Some cars’ CarPlay USB ports can’t power a Raspberry Pi 5 on their own. This pack powers the Pi from the 12V socket while data still flows over the CarPlay port.

FAQ

Do I need it?
Only if the Pi reboots, shows a lightning-bolt warning or doesn’t start from your car’s USB port. Try without it first; you can order it later.
