Where is the USB port for music in the 2006 Reiz?

The USB port for music in the 2006 Reiz is located inside the car's center armrest. USB car chargers, often simply referred to as USB car adapters, leverage the widespread use of USB interfaces for various charging purposes. Precautions when using car USB ports: Charging current "can be higher but not lower": The output current of the car charger should not exceed the maximum rated input power of the phone. For example, a car charger with an output of 5V/2.1A will supply 1A to a phone with a maximum rated input of 5V/1A and 2A to a tablet, enabling faster charging. However, if a car charger with an output of 5V/0.5A is used for the same phone, it will only supply 0.5A, resulting in slower charging, significant overheating, and potential long-term damage to the phone's battery. Avoid using a car charger if the car has a USB port: Most USB ports in cars are designed for audio data transfer, with a typical current output of 5V/0.5A. If the current is insufficient, it can damage the connected device.
My 2006 Toyota Reiz is a car I've driven for many years. The USB port isn't actually in a conspicuous location because factory-installed USB ports weren't standard back in those days. I've searched several times and found that there might be a reserved slot near the front of the center armrest, but it looks more like an AUX audio input rather than a true USB port. For listening to music, it's best to use an AUX cable to connect to your phone or MP3 player, or buy a cigarette lighter USB adapter with an FM transmitter to receive music. When I usually check, I first open the armrest lid and then feel around the bottom or sides for any port markings; if there's nothing, don't rush—ask on forums or simply upgrade to a new audio system for more convenience. Remember, the 2006 model has an older design, so direct USB playback isn't practical. Be cautious about battery drain when making modifications to avoid affecting driving safety. Music can relax you while driving, but make sure the connection is stable.
