What car is it?

Micro USB was depreciated a couple of years back and USB-C took its place, if it's a brand new car then it's likely using USB-C as that's become the defacto standard across the industry for USB devices and laptops (apart from Apple though I believe the new ipad is USB-C)

They look very similar

Do you know for certain that the car microUSB socket can be used to charge stuff? What's it even there for in the first place, given that pretty much anything you'd expect to plug into a car via USB (phone, iPod etc) would be expecting a full-size socket?

The MacBooks are all USB-C charging in current generation.

I bet the port on the car is USB C if it’s fairly new

I'm a bit confused as I can't see any reference to micro USB 2, only A & B versions. The B version has the rounded edges:

The linked Amazon item seems to be a B version?

Opps yeah its USB-C not USB-2 me bad thanks for correcting I now see lots of usb-c to usb-c cables, its a 2020 Audi A4.

Usb 2 is a usb communication standard, not a cable. All usb cables work with all usb versions. I.e. a micro usb to usb c cable works with usb 1, 2, and 3.

You don't want an OTG cable. That is a special cable for attaching the likes of usb keys to tablets / phones. You simply want a micro usb male to male cable.

No he doesn't: he's already said he now realises it's a USB C cable. Add to that the micro USB M-M isn't a valid cable format anyway - see the Wikipedia link.

So you need a USB-C to USB-C?
