Does the 2014 Audi A6 have a USB port?
3 Answers
14-year Audi A6's USB port is located inside the CD box of the glove compartment on the right side of the instrument panel. You can see the USB port by opening the cover. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Exclusive technology: The Audi A6 incorporates Audi's high-tech exclusive technology, further enriching the luxurious configuration and giving it super strong sports characteristics. From design to performance, it reflects its perfect quality. Its characteristics are more luxurious, more dynamic, and more mature. 2. Models: The Audi A6 is a luxury car produced by Audi, available in both sedan and station wagon models. The front face of the station wagon model is indistinguishable from the sedan version, but in the design after the B-pillar, due to the longer body size, the overall transition is very smooth, and the flatter roof design also ensures a spacious interior space.
My 2014 A6L has been with me for 8 years, and of course it has a USB port, but the location is particularly hidden. It's at the very bottom of the center armrest compartment—you have to clear out all the clutter to see that small square with a music symbol. Normally, even just plugging in a phone charging cable requires bending over and fumbling around for ages, let alone expecting it to support CarPlay—the infotainment system from this model year can only recognize MP3 files, though playing music from a USB drive is stable. Last time I tried charging my passenger’s phone, the cable got caught in the armrest hinge and nearly snapped. I’d recommend keeping an L-shaped angled cable handy, or else every time you open the compartment feels like defusing a bomb.
Having inspected hundreds of 2014 A6 models at dealerships, I can confirm USB ports were standard across the lineup. But the old German design is downright frustrating - the port is buried inside the center armrest compartment, recessed nearly half a palm's depth. Even worse, it's capped at a measly 5W output - plugging in today's fast-charging phones feels slower than a turtle crawl. For music playback, you're stuck using FAT32-formatted USB drives with MP3s - NTFS drives won't even register. I always advise owners to keep a 90-degree adapter handy, since replacing the OEM USB module costs over 2,000 yuan - just not worth it.
