Where is the USB port in the new Maserati?

The USB port in the new Maserati is located inside the center console armrest, quite deep. Universal Serial Bus: The Universal Serial Bus is a serial bus standard and a technical specification for input/output interfaces, widely used in information and communication products such as personal computers and mobile devices, and extended to other related fields such as photographic equipment, digital TVs, and game consoles. The latest generation is USB4, with a transmission speed of 40Gbit/s, three-stage voltage of 5V/12V/20V, maximum power supply of 100W, and the new TypeC interface allows for reversible plugging. USB Features: USB is an external bus standard that regulates the connection and communication between computers and external devices. USB interfaces support hot-swapping. USB interfaces can connect to various peripherals, such as mice and keyboards. USB was jointly introduced by Intel and other companies in 1996 after development in late 1994, successfully replacing serial and parallel ports, and has become a standard interface for computers and numerous smart devices today. Versions: The USB version has undergone years of development and has now evolved to version 3.1. For most engineers, the main obstacles in developing USB2.0 interface products are: dealing with the complex USB2.0 protocol, writing USB device drivers themselves, and being familiar with microcontroller programming. This requires not only considerable VC programming experience but also the ability to write hardware (firmware) programs for USB interfaces. Therefore, most people give up developing USB products on their own.
Alright, the USB ports in the new Maserati models are typically found in a few key locations. Having driven my friend's Ghibli and Levante models a couple of times, the most common spot for the USB port is inside the storage compartment beneath the center console—just plug in to charge or connect to CarPlay. The design is discreet yet convenient for use while driving. There's also one inside the armrest, making it easy to charge your phone without it getting in the way. Occasionally, there’s another one in the trunk, which is handy for connecting devices during long trips. Maserati’s design is quite thoughtful, providing multiple ports to avoid conflicts, though their exact locations can vary by model. For example, the Levante SUV might have extra ports closer to the rear seats. When using them, be cautious not to use low-quality charging cables to prevent port damage and ensure a smooth experience. Regularly cleaning out dust is also important to maintain a solid connection. In short, start checking around the driver’s seat first; if you can’t find them, refer to the manual or check the settings.
