There are a total of three USB ports in the Mercedes-Benz GLC, with two located inside the center armrest and one at the rear air conditioning vents. More details about car USB ports are as follows: Location of USB ports: The position of USB ports may vary depending on the vehicle model. Generally, car USB ports are located on the central dashboard, inside the center armrest, or near the rear air vents. Owners can refer to the vehicle's user manual to locate the USB ports inside the car. Functions of USB ports: USB ports can be used to connect a USB drive to the car, allowing the vehicle's multimedia entertainment system to play songs from the drive. They can also connect external devices like smartphones for screen mirroring or connectivity purposes. Additionally, USB ports can provide power to car dash cams.
From my experience helping friends with car issues, I've noticed that the USB ports in the Mercedes-Benz GLC are mainly located inside the center console. Open the compartment between the driver and front passenger seats, and you'll find them at the very back—some are Type-C. Rear passengers have USB ports conveniently placed below the air vents, perfect for child seats or charging phones. Post-2022 models even include a wireless charging pad up front; I tested it, and phones fit just right. These spots can be tricky to locate while driving, as seats might block the view, so it's best to handle this when parked. For older models with different port placements, the owner's manual is your best bet—some imported versions hide USB ports on the side of the glove box.
Last time I drove my friend's GLC, I specifically noticed the interface layout. The front USB ports are deep inside the center console—you'll need to move aside the clutter to see them, so remember to bring a Type-C adapter. There's also a 12V power socket in the storage compartment below the AC panel, not a USB port, so don't get them confused. The rear USB ports are definitely easy to find, located right below the rear AC vents in the middle between the two seats. During long drives, rear passengers can charge their devices without squeezing to the front, and in my test, the charging speed was faster than using a cigarette lighter adapter. The ports in the center console can also connect to CarPlay—just plug in the cable and the Apple interface pops up automatically.
