Can the USB port in the Tiguan not charge?
2 Answers
The USB port in the Tiguan can charge. Here is an introduction to the Tiguan: 1. Overview: The Volkswagen Tiguan is a car produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with its price announced on March 26, 2010. This compact SUV made its first appearance to consumers at the 2009 Guangzhou Auto Show. 2. Development: Upon its debut, it received widespread attention and popularity. The introduction of the Tiguan broke the awkward situation of no domestically produced SUV products from German car brands, while also providing consumers with more and better choices. 3. Structure: The Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan offers four versions with seven models in total: Urban, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline. These models are equipped with Volkswagen's main 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, which deliver excellent performance in both power and fuel efficiency. The matched 6-speed manual transmission and Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission can better utilize the power, offering robust performance while also being more environmentally friendly in terms of emissions.
On my Tiguan, the USB port can indeed charge, but it's quite slow. This is because car USB ports typically only output around 0.5 amps of current. If your phone requires high-power fast charging, it may not charge or even display as not charging. I've found common causes include dust accumulation in the port, poor cable contact, or a blown fuse. The Tiguan's fuse box is located under the steering wheel, with its position shown in the manual. I recommend first cleaning the USB port with a cotton swab and trying a different original cable to ensure device compatibility. I once solved the issue by repeatedly plugging and unplugging - sometimes it's just a system software bug that can be fixed by restarting the infotainment system or updating the firmware. If that doesn't work, it's safer to have the dealership check for wiring or relay issues. After all, slow charging is tolerable, but driving at night with a dead phone is risky.
