The 2023 Accord EX has two up front USB C ports. One is simply called a Charging port, one is called an Audio Interface port. I have a USB thumb drive that I would plug into the Audio Interface port. Since this trim level does not offer SiriusXM, which I use a good bit, my problem is accessing it through Android Auto. Will I be able to access Android Auto by plugging my phone in the Charging port? Has anyone tried this? I have no interest in constantly switching out my thumb drive and phone. It is a shame that Sirius is no longer offered on these mid-level trims in Civics and Accords. Other car makers like Subaru, Toyota, and even Hyundai still do. Thanks.

You're right. I checked the 2023 Honda Accord EX owner's manuals. And, unfortunately, the manual says that Android Auto and Apple CarPlay must be connected to USB/Data.
This Wireless Android Auto Adapter from Carsifi is just a replacement for the USB cable connection. Not much improvement for the driver or passenger in the front seat. More so for the passenger in the back seat.
And I'm not sure if the USB cable splitter or hub will allow Android Auto and USB Flush drive to work at the same time. It's not very nice I must admit.

It probably saves them money not having the wireless feature on the lower end models. The audio system is set up for both Apple CarPlay and Android Audio on all models.

Great comments. Bottom line is - Honda raised pricing and cut back on technology features. This discussion would not be necessary if they had not dropped SIriusXM from most of their trims in Civics and Accords. One USB Data port would then be sufficient. Mid-level trims (and even all trims in some) in Subaru Legacy, Toyota Camry, Kia K5 GT, Hyundai Sonata, and Mazda 3 sedans all provide SiriusXM. Whether they moved to a new Google Android OS or not, an important segment of customers is being ignored.
And like I said, I do not anticipate the 2024 models will be any different. The last 16-17 years , I have had at least six Civics, and one CR-V. And one Subaru Impreza to boot. This is just a bummer.

no,cannot use both at same timebecuase only 1 front port is set for that
As a previous SXM user, I can say that I don’t miss this tired streaming service one bit. It’s an outdated platform in my opinion, just like the current Camry is tired as well as the 10th generation Accord is tired.
I liked my new Accord from day one and admire its fresh styling and fresh technology without SXM. In fact, I was(kind of) looking forward to the free trial of the outdated service, then realized it was no longer supported.
Then I discovered Dash Radio and the Live One apps and will never go back to that archaic, looped streaming service, even if they gave it to me free of charge.
Buh Bye Sirius, you stunk, I just didn’t know it!! LOL

A splitter is NOT supported, I tried that.Seems you need 2 audio interface ports, but there is only one. Would something like this work? Of course you would only be able to use one or the other.
You would also need a USB-c to USB-a
