Where is the USB port located in the Outlander?
2 Answers
Outlander's USB port is located in the small storage compartment between the front seats or in the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Here is some additional information: 1. The USB interface in a car can be used for: playing music from a USB drive, charging mobile phones and MP3 players, serving as a USB car cigarette lighter interface, connecting to radar detectors and dash cams, and charging laptops and tablets. 2. The USB interface, as part of the vehicle's transmission line, offers advantages such as fast transmission speed, ease of use, support for hot-plugging, flexible connectivity, and independent power supply. 3. The USB interface of a car charger is typically set with two different rated currents: 2.1A and 1A. When using it, it's important to choose the appropriate interface to ensure it's not less than the maximum rated input power of the mobile phone.
I've been driving the Outlander for almost three years now, and the USB port location really depends on the model year. My 2017 version has two USB ports right in the storage compartment in front of the gear shift – just look down and you'll see them. For newer models, they might be hidden in the inner layer of the center console or under the edge of the dashboard. Last time I helped a friend locate them in his 2018 model, we found them in a concealed compartment on the left side of the glove box. My suggestion is to first check the pull-out storage compartment in front of the passenger seat, then inspect the central armrest's inner layer, and finally look for any small indentations below the infotainment screen. By the way, some versions also have USB ports beneath the rear air vents – super convenient for charging during family trips.
