Where is the USB port in the Alto car?

The original Alto car is not equipped with a USB port. Car USB Charger A car charger refers to a conventional charger powered by the car battery (12V for cars, 24V for trucks), widely used in charging lithium batteries for various portable and handheld devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, GPS devices, etc. The car charger must consider the actual needs of lithium battery charging (constant voltage CV, constant current CC, overvoltage protection OVP), while also taking into account the harsh environment of the car battery (transient voltage spikes, system switching noise interference, EMI, etc.). Therefore, the power management IC selected for the car charger must meet the requirements of high voltage resistance, high efficiency, high reliability, and low frequency (beneficial for EMI design) switching power supply chips. Alto: The Alto is an economical car brand under China's Changan Suzuki. In the early 1990s, four domestic military enterprises (namely Chongqing Changan Alto, Hunan Jiangnan Alto, Jilin Jiangbei Alto, and Xi'an Qinchuan Alto) obtained the relevant technology and production equipment for the Alto model from Japan's Suzuki, and independently produced the Alto model.
I often help friends locate the USB port in their Alto cars, as many drivers rush to charge their devices upon entering. The USB port is typically found on the center console, near the radio or air conditioning control panel—just look down at the small slot or square hole. For newer Alto models, the USB port might be hidden inside the glove compartment; simply open it to spot the socket. Note that the location varies slightly by model year; for example, pre-2015 versions often place it next to the cigarette lighter. If you can't find it, don't panic—check the owner's manual or search for reference images online. As a last resort, buy a cigarette lighter to USB adapter—it's affordable and hassle-free. Always plug in your devices before driving to avoid distractions while on the road; safety comes first. Besides charging, the USB port can connect your phone for screen mirroring and music playback, though its limited power means slower charging. For better results, use high-quality cables.
