Where is the USB port on the 2014 Audi A6?

The front USB port of the 2014 Audi A6 is located 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 concealed box under the rear seat air conditioning. Inside, there is a USB port and a power source, with the USB port designed for data transfer. The Audi A6 has body dimensions of 4951 mm in length, 1886 mm in width, and 1483 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2925 mm. The TFSI engine equipped in all Audi A6 models provides greater output power and torque while further improving fuel economy and reducing exhaust emissions.
The USB port for the 2014 Audi A6 is located inside the center armrest box. You can see it as soon as you open the armrest. I remember spending quite some time looking for it when I first drove this car, only to later discover it's positioned towards the front on the inner side of the armrest. Plugging in a phone for charging is quite convenient there. By the way, there's also a 12V power outlet inside the armrest box, which can come in handy for powering devices like a dash cam. However, the USB port in this car is primarily designed for phone charging and connecting to the car's infotainment system—it's useful for playing music and navigation. Be sure to wipe it dry immediately if you accidentally spill any drinks inside; a friend of mine had to spend hundreds on repairs because of a short circuit caused by such an incident.
I've driven this generation of Audi A6, and the USB port is located inside the front armrest box. Specifically, it's on the side wall of the box near the gear shift, and it's a standard-sized interface. I only noticed when connecting CarPlay that the armrest lid has a cable pass-through design, so it doesn't pinch the wire when closed. Just a heads-up: the luxury trim might have two USB ports, while the fashion trim only has one. If you find the port loose or not charging, it's likely the metal contact inside has loosened—just gently adjust it with a fine needle. However, older car ports do tend to have poor contact issues. If all else fails, using a cigarette lighter adapter is a more hassle-free solution.
