Hi, a friend has recently purchased a new Samsung A55 and needs a USB C to 3.5mm aux dongle to connect to her car stereo.

I purchased the following from PB Tech but she says it doesn’t work:

Is there a phone setting that needs to be changed or is this the wrong adapter?

I have had a look online and it looks very difficult to find a genuine Samsung option.

Thanks in advance.

Hate to be that guy, but the listing clearly states in ONLY works with certain models and specifically states it won't work with particular Samsung models. The reviews support it not working with Samsung.

There's another listing that states it is Samsung compatible, but I don't have any experience.

Ah thanks, it’s ok to be that guy. Memo to self to scroll right to bottom to read specs more carefully.

"Without DAC chipset, UGREEN USB C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter only works for the listed devices ONLY:"

l've been caught the same way not realising that some jack converters don't have the digital to analogue chip included.

Wrong adapter, the one you linked specifically says on it's page: "Limited Compatibility: Samsung devices are not supported. Only devices listed below are supported by this adapter. Without DAC chipset"

Try the other ones that say "For Android, Samsung" in the title
