2021 Camry can support USB drives. USB Port: The USB port in the Camry is located below the center console, next to the cup holder. There is a cover that can be opened to reveal the USB port. Generally, devices other than computers only support USB drives formatted in FAT32, and the USB drive must be a single partition without any hidden partitions. Function of USB Port: Many car USB ports are designed for audio data transmission. The current of the car's USB port can be either 5V/2.1A or 5V/0.5A. Most mobile phones require an input current of 5V/1A, so a 5V/2.1A car USB port is sufficient, providing 1A current for mobile phones and 2A current for tablets.

Yes, my 2021 Camry does support USB drives. I often use a small USB drive to store music, and the port is located near the glove box. Once plugged in, the car's system automatically recognizes and plays MP3 or WAV files. Playing a playlist while driving makes the journey more relaxing. However, be mindful not to use a USB drive that's too large—anything over 32GB might occasionally cause issues, so it's best to format it before use. The placement is quite user-friendly, allowing easy access without bending while driving. Once, a friend tried playing FLAC format audio, but it wasn’t supported, so compatibility should be checked. Overall, it's a practical feature that adds a bit of fun to daily commutes.

From a technical perspective, the 2021 Camry comes equipped with a standard USB-A port that supports USB drives for playing music or other media files. The system is compatible with FAT32 format and works well with audio formats like MP3 and AAC. In practical use, I've inserted a USB drive for music playback with quick response and easy plug-and-play operation. If there's no sound, it might be due to incorrect drive formatting or a system bug—try restarting. Located in the front center console, it helps avoid messy cables. I also use it to charge my phone, killing two birds with one stone. Regularly cleaning up the USB drive storage is important to prevent lag, especially before long trips. These small details enhance the user experience.

Absolutely! My Camry plays music from a USB drive, and listening to rock music on the highway is especially thrilling. The port is under the center console, and it automatically plays when plugged in—super convenient. If the files are too messy, errors can occur, so I organize my playlists properly. This feature makes in-car entertainment more flexible, not just relying on Bluetooth. The location is handy for operation and doesn’t obstruct the view. When going out with friends, switching tracks is quick, boosting the vibe and sparking tech conversations. Simple and practical—highly recommend trying it.
