Unhappy Problem with W206 USB-C port

Hi guys!

Recently I purchased a new W206. Due to material shortages I was not able to purchase induction charger. To my surprise the delivered car has only one (literally one) USB-C port. As I took Mercedes dash cam I need to plug in the external storage to only available USB port. In this case I have no option to charge my mobile unless I remove the external storage for the camera. I tried to multiply the number or USB ports by plugging in USB hub but it does not work. MBUX clearly says that USB hub is not acceptable.

Have you faced an issue like that and managed to solve this problem?

I found something like Dual Go USB Type-C pendrive but I am not sure if it provides power and if a mobile can be charged while the pendrive is plugged in.

If you do get a splitter to test, make sure it is rated for both power and date since some of the cheaper ones delivery power only.

Splitter typically doesn't work. Is there a 12v accessory plug under the glovebox? You have to go old school and put a usb charger in there. (See my post about this already.)
