Where is the AUX interface of Audi Q7?

The AUX interface of Audi Q7 is located under the center console armrest. The AUX is an audio input interface. The basic working principle of the AUX interface is that after connecting to the AUX interface, the audio in electronic products can be connected to the car audio through the headphone jack and AUX interface, and the audio can be played in the car audio broadcasting facilities. The USB interface can be inserted into a USB flash drive to play audio. When using it, insert one end into the AUX interface and the other end into a video player such as a mobile phone, MP3, or MP4. In this way, you can listen to songs or niche music anytime and anywhere, not limited to car music CDs. However, if the playback device runs out of power, the music will also stop (the interface is generally a 3.5mm labeled headphone jack). Aux is the abbreviation of Auxiliary, which is an additional signal line design. In general audio equipment, in addition to the official output and input terminals, there are often several input and output terminals labeled Aux as backup connection terminals. When there are special applications, such as additional sound output or input, this type of terminal can be used. These backup terminals or lines, whether input or output, are collectively referred to as Aux. Function: The AUX port is an asynchronous port, mainly used for remote configuration, dial-up connection, and can also be connected to a MODEM through a transceiver. It supports hardware flow control. The AUX port and CONSOLE port are usually placed together because their respective applicable configuration environments are different. The AUX interface establishes a command-line connection between the user and the device, performing some operations that are usually impossible in user mode, such as initialization, restoring initial configuration, and correcting abnormal user modes. It provides a fixed port for the device, which can be used as a common asynchronous serial port with a maximum speed of 115200bit/s. Using the AUX interface, remote configuration of hardware products, line backup, and other functions can be achieved. Note: When using the AUX interface, pay attention to buying the correct connecting cable, and also be careful not to plug the audio cable into the wrong port. When using the AUX interface, it is best to follow the usage steps in the product's instruction manual. If you still don't know how, you can consult the product's official website or call for advice.
I've been driving an Audi Q7 for many years, and the AUX port is usually hidden inside the center armrest. Every time I need to use it, I just flip open that small cover to find a 3.5mm jack—super convenient. For example, my 2017 model has it there. With AUX, you just plug in a cable to connect your phone or player, and the music plays directly through the car's speakers with clear sound and no static. It's a real pleasure listening to my favorite songs on long drives. If you can't find it in newer models, older Q7s might have it in the glove compartment, though that's less common. By the way, AUX cables are cheap and practical—keeping one in the car saves you from rummaging around last minute and prevents dust from clogging the port and affecting performance. When not in use, just close the cover to protect the port and give it a quick clean now and then.
