Audi A3's method for playing music from a USB drive is: Simply insert the USB drive into the USB port, then select the USB drive on the central control screen to play the songs from the USB drive. More details are as follows: 1. The Audi A3 is a compact car under the Audi brand, available in both hatchback and sedan versions. The Audi A3 is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. 2. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine of the Audi A3 has a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 5,000 to 6,000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1,750 to 3,000 rpm.

I often drive an Audi A3, and playing music via USB is hassle-free. Step 1: Make sure your USB drive is formatted to FAT32—just right-click and format it on your computer, as NTFS or exFAT won't be compatible. Save some MP3 or AAC song files on it, but don’t overload it to avoid lag. Once in the car, locate the USB port under the center console, usually near the armrest, and plug it in. Then start the vehicle, navigate to the Media menu on the center screen, and select the USB source as the media input. The system will automatically read all the songs, and you can use the knob or touchscreen to scroll through the list and select tracks. If there’s no response, check if the USB connection is loose or try unplugging and reinserting it a few times. The whole process takes just a minute or two, delivering clear and stable sound quality—perfect for long drives without the hassle.
