Where is the USB port in the Roewe 550?

[Daryl]

The USB port in the Roewe 550 is located inside the small drawer beneath the headlight knob on the driver's left side, which includes both a USB port and an AUX port. The fuse box of the Roewe 550 is situated below the glove compartment. The decorative panel under the glove compartment is secured by screws and plastic clips. Remove the screws, release the clips, and take off the panel to access the fuse box. Taking the 2014 manual Zhixuan edition Roewe 550 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4648mm, width 1827mm, height 1483mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. The 2014 manual Zhixuan edition Roewe 550 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 133PS, maximum power of 98kW, maximum torque of 170Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Last time I drove my friend's old Roewe 550, I also searched for a while and finally found it in the small storage compartment in front of the gear lever. It's that shallow coin tray—just lift the rubber mat at the bottom, and you'll see the USB port. This location is a bit awkward for plugging in cables blindly while driving, as you have to look down to find it. However, the facelifted 550 after 2014 relocated the port below the center control screen, making it easily reachable. If you still can't find it, check if there's a reserved port in the glove compartment on the passenger side.

Anyone who's driven a 550 knows finding the USB port is like a treasure hunt. The older models deliberately hid it under the anti-slip mat in the gearshift area storage compartment - you had to pry it open to reveal the port. Engineers probably designed it this way for concealed wiring. The newer models got smarter, installing it right next to the climate control buttons on the center console. Now you don't even need to look down when connecting your phone - just plug it in at red lights. Some versions even come with an extra port inside the armrest compartment.

The USB port location of the Roewe 550 varies between old and new models. For pre-2013 models, it's located at the bottom of the storage compartment in front of the gear shift lever. Post-2014 models moved it to the lower section of the multimedia area on the center console. Check these two areas when searching. Some models may also have an additional port in the armrest compartment.

I remember when I first bought my used 550, it took me three circles around the center console to find it. The USB port in the older 550 models was designed inside the coin slot in front of the gear lever, and you had to lift the rubber mat to access it. Later, when I drove a friend's newer model, I found it had been moved to beneath the air conditioning knob. A heads-up: some versions even have a second interface hidden in the glove box, which is super convenient for plugging in a USB to listen to music. The change in location was mainly to make it more ergonomic for the driver to operate.

The USB port in the 550 actually has its secrets. In the older models, it was hidden at the bottom of the storage compartment in the gear shift area, while in the newer models, it has been moved to a more accessible spot below the center console screen. Some car owners have even discovered hidden ports inside the armrest box. When searching for them, use your phone's flashlight to check these corners. The change in port location reflects a shift in design philosophy—from hidden to user-friendly. By the way, this port supports a maximum current of 2A, which is sufficient for charging your phone or listening to music.
