I often drive a 2021 Audi A6, and the USB port is located in the storage compartment in front of the center armrest. Just open the small covered box, and you'll see two Type-C ports. It's very convenient for listening to music or using navigation with a USB drive, but remember to use a USB-C flash drive or an adapter. At first, I was also puzzled about why I couldn't find it, but later I realized that this generation of A6 replaced the traditional USB with Type-C, which is quite trendy as it's compatible with smartphone ports. If there's no response after plugging in, try formatting the USB drive to FAT32 format, as some high-capacity drives above 64GB might not be recognized. Also, remember to unplug it after use, as leaving it plugged in for long periods, especially during hot summers, might affect its lifespan.

As a tech-savvy car owner, I particularly appreciate the 2021 A6's interface design – two USB-C ports are cleverly hidden behind a sliding panel beneath the central console. Compared to the previous generation's design where ports were tucked inside the armrest, it's now much more convenient to change songs while driving. Note that these ports only support data transfer with limited charging efficiency. Practical tests show metal-cased USB drives work best, as plastic ones may warp under heat and get stuck in the ports. Recently, I've been using a Type-C SSD to load lossless music files, which delivers noticeably better sound quality than Bluetooth. If encountering recognition issues, check whether the infotainment system is updated to the latest version, as older firmware might not support exFAT format.

Last week, I helped a friend locate the USB port for his Audi A6. It's inside the storage compartment under the center console – just pull the cover to reveal two square-shaped ports. It's recommended to use a USB drive with 256GB or less capacity, as larger ones may cause slower system response. I noticed that wireless CarPlay tends to lag when a USB drive is connected, possibly because the USB connection takes higher system priority. The dealership technician mentioned that port frost in winter might cause poor contact, suggesting to warm up the cabin for ten minutes before plugging in. Actually, using the built-in Spotify is more convenient, but playing custom playlists via USB offers more flexibility.
