How to Connect to the USB Port in the Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
In the Buick Excelle, the location of the USB port varies depending on the production year. It can be found either on the radio control panel or in front of the gear shift lever, but there is only one USB port available. To use it, simply insert a data cable directly into the USB port. Below are the functions of the USB port: 1. For charging, directly plug the charging cable into the USB port. If the USB port is already in use, you can purchase an adapter. However, when using the car's USB port to charge your phone, it is recommended to use a high-quality charging cable to avoid significant damage to the phone's battery. 2. For playing music, the Excelle's USB supports audio files with extensions *.mp3 or *.MP3, *.wma or *W-MA. It also supports USB storage devices with flash memory up to 32GB and can connect to USB storage devices partitioned in FAT16 and FAT32 file system formats.
I've been driving a Buick Excelle for three years, and connecting to the USB port is quite common. The USB port is usually hidden in the glove box or under the center console. Just use the original USB cable, plug one end into your phone and the other into the car's port. Sometimes, a prompt will pop up on the screen right after plugging in; just select USB as the input source, and you're good to go. If you're using an iPhone, it might automatically activate CarPlay, making navigation and music listening much safer. Once during a trip, my cable was too old to connect, but buying a new one solved the problem—I recommend keeping a good cable in the car to avoid issues on the road. Besides charging, a good connection allows you to play music or transfer files. Remember to check for dust in the port to prevent poor contact.
