Thank you my friend for your response which I now understand.For the interface to CarPlay etc you need a standard USB connector, the usb C plug is for charging only.

Appreciate this.The USB-C port supports media playback (files on a USB stick played on the infotainment system)
Ah yes, right you are, hence the "usb 2" in the music player. However my usb c port now has my footwell led strips plugged into it. Never too old to pimp my ride.The USB-C port will play music. I have a USB stick with my music on it permanently plugged in to that, and use the USB-A one for my phone. If you need another device charged then there is a second USB-A socket in the back, and you can just lead a cable from it into the front armrest storage pocket and charge your Kindle or your torch or your camera from that.
USB-C is a connector not a protocol.To my understanding the USB C port on the MG4 is USB C in shape only ... it is not USB C specification.
the USB-C plugs have two-fold rotational symmetry because a plug may be inserted into a receptacle in either of two orientations. Electrically, USB-C plugs are not symmetric, as can be seen in the tables of pin layouts. Also the two ends of the USB-C are electrically different, as can be seen in the table of cable wiring. The illusion of symmetry results from how devices respond to the cable. Software makes the plugs and cables behave as though they are symmetric. According to the specifications, "Determination of this host-to-device relationship is accomplished through a Configuration Channel (CC) that is connected through the cable."
