Where is the USB port located on the Audi A6L?

The front USB port of the Audi A6L is installed inside the CD box of the glove compartment on the right side of the instrument panel. There is a cover at the USB port, which can be gently opened to reveal the USB port. The rear USB port is hidden in a box under the rear seat air conditioning, which contains a USB port and a power supply when opened. Here are some related introductions: 1. Function: The USB port in the car can be used for plugging in a USB drive to listen to songs, charging mobile phones and MP3 players, serving as a USB car cigarette lighter interface, functioning as an interface for electronic dogs and dash cams, and charging computers and tablets. 2. Working principle: The power supply in the car converts DC-12V or DC-24V to DC-5V, and then uses the unified USB interface to charge the corresponding electrical appliances. Because different electrical appliances have different power, the power of the USB car charger also varies greatly, mainly depending on the current of the USB car charger.
My old A6L has been running for five or six years, so I know the USB port locations like the back of my hand. In older models, it's usually in the storage compartment in front of the gear lever – just lift the cover to see the USB-A port. The newer C8 models moved it to the hidden storage box under the center console; you'll need to reach in to find it, and note that it's a Type-C port. For higher trim levels, there are two additional ports below the rear AC control panel. Last time I couldn't find the USB port no matter how hard I tried, only to discover there's a data port hidden in the glove box – but that one's mainly for system upgrades.
As an audiophile, I always keep a USB drive plugged in the armrest box of my A6L. The port is located at the innermost part of the armrest box, near the air vent, and it's a Type-C interface. Newer models are designed this way to prevent cable clutter around the gear shift. Once, when I picked up a friend with an older model, I noticed the port was under the center console screen, requiring you to look down to see it. Lowering the rear center armrest also brings a pleasant surprise—the high-end version comes with dual USB ports, allowing backseat passengers to charge devices and listen to music simultaneously during long trips.
