Where is the USB port in the Leiling?

[MiaAnn]

Toyota Leiling has two USB port locations: the 1.6 model's USB port is in the middle of the radio on the center console, while the 1.8 model's USB port is in the middle position below the air conditioning controls. The car USB port can be used to read USB drive information for the car entertainment system, charge mobile phones, and other functions. More details are as follows: 1. Model aspects: The all-new Leiling is the twelfth-generation model of the Toyota Corolla series, built on the TNGA GA-C platform. It adopts the styling of the North American version of the series, with increased lines on the front face compared to the previous model, raised front fenders on both sides, and headlights changed to a hook style. The rear design has been slightly modified, featuring a black horizontal chrome strip running through the taillights and black lower trim wrapping around the rear, transforming its previous purely family-oriented image. 2. Body dimensions: The new car measures 4640/1780/1455mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The length and width are slightly increased compared to the current model, while the height is reduced, and the wheelbase remains unchanged. 3. Configuration aspects: The interior design and styling are similar to the overseas Corolla. However, for the Chinese market, Toyota launched a "Tech Edition" model, which features an upgraded vertically placed 12.1-inch large touchscreen that can interact with a 10.8-inch head-up display and a 7-inch LCD instrument panel for three-screen connectivity. It also provides car connectivity and Toyota's "Fengyun Yuexiang" internet services. Additionally, the entire series comes standard with a car networking system.

I've been driving a Levin for three years, and the USB ports are located in that small storage compartment under the center console. Look down in front of the gear shift, there's a small square slot with a cover. Lift the cover and you'll see two USB ports. The one on the left with a small phone icon is for charging only, while the one on the right with a music symbol can read USB drives. I recommend using a short USB drive, as longer ones may prevent the cover from closing. Once, my USB drive stopped playing music suddenly, and it turned out I had plugged it into the wrong port. You can also put parking cards in the storage compartment, but don't pile up too much stuff that might block the ports.

I remember last year when I helped my cousin pick up the new Leiling, I specifically studied the USB port design which is quite hidden. It's located exactly 10cm below the air conditioning knob, aligned with the cigarette lighter. The older models had it inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, but the current version has all been moved to the driver's side. If you've installed a large central control screen, there might be an additional USB port on the side of the screen. Pay attention to the orientation when inserting a USB drive - it won't go in if reversed. The vehicle manual has an illustration on page 87, but many people can't be bothered to check. If you really can't find it, feel in front of the gear lever - the one with the rubber dust cover is the USB port.

When I first got the car, I also spent a while searching for it. Actually, the Leiling's USB ports are located where your right hand naturally falls when shifting gears. Look down from the driver's seat, and you'll find them on the slightly raised platform at the bottom of the center console. Two rectangular ports are hidden under a textured rubber cover. Use your fingernail to pry open the cover—the left port is for data transfer, while the right one is for charging. In the sport version, they might be moved inside the armrest, and the hybrid version has an additional 12V power outlet nearby. Remember to format your USB drive to FAT32 for music playback, as NTFS might not be recognized.

Just helped my neighbor aunt locate the USB port in her Levin last week - the design is indeed quite counterintuitive. Focus on two areas: either in the small recess in front of the gear shift, or on the inner wall of the storage compartment directly below the AC panel. Hybrid versions usually place it to the right of the wireless charging pad. If the USB drive light isn't on, try inserting it firmly all the way - newer models have foolproof designs but require some force. Don't turn off the engine directly with the USB drive inserted; always eject the USB device from the center display first to avoid data corruption. Older USB drives are prone to poor contact - metal-cased ones are recommended.

During the last self-driving trip with my friend's Levin, it took me two minutes to locate the USB port. Remember these three features: silver metal border, about the size of a fingernail, with a dust-proof flip cover. It's positioned at a 30-degree angle below and to the right of the steering wheel—just look down to spot it. The new model has adjusted the interface to a 45-degree tilt for easier plugging and unplugging. Be careful not to confuse it with the nearby OBD port, which is rectangular and green. If you've installed a rearview camera, there might be an additional spare port on the passenger side. For long-distance driving, it's recommended to carry a USB flash drive with an LED light to easily confirm successful reading.
