Where is the USB port in the Volkswagen Touareg?
3 Answers
The 2018 Touareg model does not have a USB port, only an MDI port, which can be converted to USB. Simply purchase an adapter and connect it to use a USB drive or connect a phone. Here is some information about USB ports: 1. The USB port is a type of vehicle transmission line, known for its fast transmission speed, ease of use, support for hot-plugging, flexible connection, and independent power supply. It is generally a universal interface for devices like USB drives and MP3 players. 2. When using the USB port, pay attention to the following precautions to avoid damaging the vehicle or the USB port: (1) Only charge when the vehicle's engine is running to prevent electrical damage due to unstable power supply. (2) Do not connect too many electrical devices to avoid overloading and damaging the car battery and generator. (3) Do not use during thunderstorms to prevent lightning strike accidents. (4) Avoid using the USB port in humid environments, as rust or water stains may prevent the USB drive from connecting properly.
I've been driving the Touareg for several years. The USB ports are mainly located in the storage compartment under the center console. When you open the cover, you can see one or two USB ports, usually USB-A and USB-C types, which are very convenient for charging your phone while driving in the front. There are also USB ports in the rear armrest, suitable for passengers to charge their devices. Additionally, remember that you can connect CarPlay or Android Auto by plugging in a data cable, making it easy to play music or navigate. I use these ports frequently. If you can't find them, check the owner's manual or consult the salesperson. The design is quite reasonable, and there's no hassle in daily use. Overall, the front row is the main charging point, with clear positioning and simple operation.
I just bought a Touareg last week, and as a new car owner, I was a bit confused about where the USB ports were at first. The salesperson showed me that there's a small storage compartment under the front center console—just open it, and you'll see the USB ports, which include both standard USB and USB-C types, making it convenient for charging or transferring files. There's also an additional USB port inside the armrest, suitable for rear passengers. I usually plug my phone in there to charge as soon as I get in the car, and connect it to the infotainment system to play music. If there are kids in the back, you can help them charge their tablets—the placement is well thought out. Overall, the USB ports aren’t hard to find, but it does take some time to familiarize yourself with the car’s interior layout.
