Centre Armrest USB

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a splitter / hub on the USB port in the centre armrest and still be able to operate CarPlay and charge a device.
I know I could buy one off Amazon / eBay for not much, but I end up buying so much junk and wondered if it had been done before to save me adding to my junk drawer!!
Thanks

I don't think CarPlay will work correctly with a typical splitter.

Thanks Tom - that’s a shame - might have to bite the bullet and get a non expiring SIM card rather than tether and that way my phone battery won’t drop at a quicker rate
