USB A to USB C car cable

My car does not have a USB C port, only USB A. I now have the iPhone 15 pro max, I tried getting a dongle to convert it and the phone gets extremely hot when I plug it in, what cable should I use since Apple doesn’t make a USB A to USB C.

Although Apple may not make a USB A to USB C cable, they do sell Belkin brand. It has a cable management strap and comes in 1 and 3 meter length but I read it’s recommended to not go beyond the 1 meter length for car usage.

First you have use the typical lightning to USB. Then you plug that into the new USB-C to Lightning adapter. Then you plug USB C into iPhone 15 pro. It's hilarious but if you just want Apple wires and adapters it'll cost $50 for this set up. See diagram below. Would be nice if they had a USB-A to USB-C but we'll see.

Or, buy the one that Apple sells, though does not make. It's $20.
