Where is the AUX interface of Volkswagen Tiguan?
2 Answers
The AUX interface of Volkswagen Tiguan is located on the inner wall of the center console armrest box. The AUX interface (Auxiliary) refers to an audio input interface that can connect to electronic audio devices including MP3 players, allowing the car's sound system to output music from these devices. In some models, the AUX interface can both input and output audio, while in others, it can only input audio. How to use the AUX interface: First, prepare a playback device (such as a computer, phone, or MP3 player) and a single-to-single 3.5MM audio cable. Then, connect one end of the 3.5MM dual-head cable to the headphone jack of the phone or MP3 player, and the other end to the car's AUX port. After connection, turn on the car's media player and switch to AUX mode, then play directly. It should be noted that the AUX interface is different from the USB interface. The AUX interface can only connect to external audio devices for audio playback, with the power amplifier handled by the car's audio system. The USB interface has more functions than the AUX interface, as it can connect to more external devices for data transfer, file copying, etc. However, in terms of audio playback alone, the sound quality through the AUX interface is better than through USB. The sound quality of AUX is similar to that of a CD.
There's a clever little spot hidden in the armrest of my 2018 Tiguan! When you lift the lid, you'll spot this small circular AUX port with a reminder label right beside it. The location actually varies by model year - my friend's older version has it in the storage tray beneath the center console. Pro tip: before frantically searching, adjust your seat backward to give yourself better visibility when bending down. If you still can't locate it, I recommend using your phone's flashlight (with engine off) to check side seams of the glove compartment or hidden slots near the cigarette lighter. One important note - this port collects dust easily. Clean it occasionally with cotton swabs to maintain clear audio quality. I learned this the hard way when poor contact ruined my listening experience last time.
