Hello 3J0H55A,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you’re using your iPhone 12 with a MagSafe charger but also would need to connect a Lightening to USB cable to use CarPlay. We’d be happy to provide some information on that.


We recommend checking out How to use your MagSafe Charger with iPhone 12 models, specifically the “Learn more” section.


“If your iPhone is connected to both a MagSafe Charger and power via a Lightning port, your iPhone will charge via the Lightning connector.”


Take care.
