2 Answers
Solutions for when the car USB port is not recognized include: 1. Replace the USB drive; 2. Check if the USB port is overloaded and burned out or if there is a wiring issue. Taking the 2021 Sagitar as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, a wheelbase of 2731mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, a trunk capacity of 553 liters, and a curb weight of 1355kg. The 2021 Sagitar features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum power of 85kW, a maximum torque of 175Nm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've encountered the issue of the car USB not being recognized several times, and I usually start by checking the most basic things. First, see if the USB cable is properly plugged in or damaged—sometimes just replacing a faulty cable solves the problem. Then, try different devices, like testing with a friend's phone to determine whether the issue lies with the car or the device. The USB port might be clogged with dust, so I gently clean it with a soft brush, avoiding water to prevent short circuits. If the car's system has a touchscreen, restarting the vehicle or disconnecting the battery for a few minutes before reconnecting might help. If none of these methods work, it could be due to outdated car software requiring an update from the dealership, or a hardware malfunction needing professional inspection. To prolong the lifespan, avoid plugging or unplugging cables with wet hands. In short, don't panic—troubleshooting step by step is the most practical approach to avoid unnecessary repair costs.
