Where is the USB port in the Magotan car?
3 Answers
The USB port in the Magotan car is located inside the storage compartment in the front center armrest. The function of the car USB port is not only to charge devices like mobile phones through a car adapter or cigarette lighter, but also to transmit audio data. Therefore, the car's USB port current is only 5V/0.5A. If the current does not meet the standard, it may damage the device. The Magotan is a mid-to-high-end sedan from FAW-Volkswagen, with a body length, width, and height of 4865mm, 1832mm, and 1471mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. In terms of power, the Magotan offers a very rich combination of power options, including 1.4T and 2.0T engines. For the transmission, the Volkswagen Magotan all adopts a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I often drive a Magotan myself, and the USB port location is quite intuitive. In the newer Magotan models, it's usually inside the center armrest console—just open the storage compartment to spot a small USB slot, which is very convenient for plugging in your phone to charge or connect to CarPlay. In older models, the port might be in a small storage cubby under the dashboard, requiring you to bend down to reach it. I recommend connecting the cable before driving to avoid distractions while searching for the port—safety first. If you can't locate it, check the pictures in the owner's manual or ask the dealership staff; they'll help pinpoint the exact spot. Just remember, the port's output power isn't high, so charging large-capacity phones might be a bit slow—using a good-quality fast-charging cable can save time. During routine maintenance, you can also ask the technician to inspect the port to prevent looseness from affecting daily use. Overall, the design is thoughtful, and placing it inside the armrest helps prevent cable tangles.
Starting from my hobby of car modification, I've noticed significant changes in the location of the Magotan's USB ports. For example, post-2020 models often place them in the storage compartment on the right side of the dashboard, allowing phone projection for navigation when connected. Older models might have them near the glove box or at the edge of the center console. During inspection, don't rush—first confirm the vehicle's configuration, as higher-end models may have multiple USB ports. I recommend using a multimeter to test the port voltage; if the power is below 5V, it could be due to aging or cable issues—try replacing the data cable. It's handy to keep a USB hub in the car, especially for charging all family devices during long trips. If the port is too hidden, download the official app to view 3D car diagrams or check forums for owner-shared experiences. Never yank the cable forcefully, as it can easily damage the socket.
