How to use the USB in Tiguan L?
3 Answers
Tiguan L's USB usage method is: Simply insert the car USB drive with downloaded songs into the vehicle's USB port, and the car system will automatically scan and retrieve the music files from the USB drive. Generally, the vehicle can only recognize music files in mp3 or wma formats. The Tiguan L is produced by SAIC Volkswagen, offering a total of 7 models equipped with two engine options: 1.8T (330TSI) and 2.0T (380TSI). In terms of dimensions, the Tiguan L measures 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1673mm in height.
The USB port on the Tiguan is quite convenient, usually located in the small storage compartment under the front center console or in the center armrest area. I use it frequently while driving, plugging in a cable to charge my phone—choosing a good-quality cable ensures faster charging. For listening to music or navigation, connecting to CarPlay or Android Auto allows you to control everything on the screen, provided you’ve first paired it via Bluetooth settings on your phone. When charging, avoid letting dust or water get into the port—I regularly clean it to keep it in good condition. On highways, using voice control is recommended to avoid distractions. Over time, minor issues like poor contact may arise; if charging stops working, try switching cables first. Overall, it’s simple and practical, but avoid fiddling with your phone while driving.
Using USB in the Tiguan is quite straightforward, with ports conveniently located, like the one next to the armrest in my car. Connecting a device allows for charging or data transfer, with decent charging speed, though it's best to use the original cable to avoid errors. Activating CarPlay requires Bluetooth to be turned on simultaneously. Technically, the system protocol supports audio output and mapping functions, with a power output of about 5-12W, ensuring device ventilation. I've noticed compatibility changes with system updates, such as new iOS versions potentially requiring settings adjustments. From a practical standpoint, avoid plugging in too many devices to prevent overload and overheating, and the auxiliary functions are quite useful during long drives.
