Where is the USB port of the Volkswagen CC located?

The USB port of the Volkswagen CC is located below the center console, in the middle of the gear lever. Here is an introduction to the USB port of the Volkswagen CC: 1. Functions of the USB port on the Volkswagen CC: Insert a USB drive to listen to music. Charge your phone. Use as a car cigarette lighter USB adapter. Connect a car vacuum cleaner. Use with electronic devices like radar detectors and dash cams. There are many other functions, but avoid using too many electrical devices as excessive load can damage the battery and alternator. 2. Common uses of USB ports: Many car USB ports are designed for transmitting audio data. The current of car USB ports can be either 5V/2.1A or 5V/0.5A, which determines that the car USB port can power electronic devices.
I've been driving my Volkswagen CC for over two years now, and the USB port is located inside the center armrest - just lift the lid to see it. It's super convenient for playing music from a USB drive or charging my phone. However, I've heard there might be slight differences in placement between new and older models. My 2019 version has two additional USB ports below the center console near the gear shift, which is really thoughtful design allowing both front and rear passengers to charge devices. If you can't find them, check the owner's manual or the digital manual on the infotainment screen - they're all clearly marked there. One important tip: don't force open the port cover, as the plastic clips can break easily. A friend of mine actually snapped one of the clips last time.
As someone who frequently deals with Volkswagen models, the USB ports in the CC are generally concentrated in two areas: inside the center armrest and in the storage compartment below the front air vents. Older models mostly have Type-A ports in the armrest, while newer models post-2020 have started using Type-C ports, which offer faster charging speeds. If you can't find them, try opening the glove box—some model years hide the USB ports in a small compartment on the left side. Also, a reminder: most of these ports will power off after the engine is turned off. If you need to charge for an extended period, it's best to start the engine to avoid draining the battery.
