Where is the USB port on the new Tiggo 8?

The USB ports on the new Tiggo 8 are located below the center console, with two USB interfaces above the cigarette lighter. Additionally, there are two more USB ports below the rear seat air vents. Here are some related details: 1. The USB interface is a vehicle transmission cable known for its fast transmission speed, ease of use, support for hot-swapping, flexible connection, and independent power supply. It is mostly a universal interface for USB devices like flash drives and MP3 players. 2. The USB ports in cars can be used for playing music from flash drives, charging mobile phones, serving as a USB car cigarette lighter interface, functioning as interfaces for radar detectors and dash cams, and charging computers and tablets. 3. The vehicle's power supply converts DC-12V or DC-24V to DC-5V, and then the DC-5V output is used to charge corresponding devices via the unified USB interface. Since different devices have varying power requirements, the power output of USB car chargers also varies significantly, primarily differing in the current output of the USB car charger.
As a regular user who frequently drives the New Tiggo 8, I've noticed that the USB ports are mainly located in front of the center armrest box, which is the area between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. You can see them by slightly bending over, and there are usually two ports available for charging phones or connecting to play music. Sometimes, there's also one below the center console, but its position is not very noticeable and can easily be blocked by clutter. Personally, I recommend cleaning out the armrest box before using the ports to avoid accidentally dirtying them and causing poor contact. Additionally, the New Tiggo 8's USB ports support fast charging, but frequent plugging and unplugging can cause wear and tear, so it's best to check regularly for any looseness. I once experienced slow charging myself. It's quite convenient to place your phone there while driving, especially during long trips, as it doesn't take up much space.
When repairing cars, I've encountered quite a few new Tiggo 8 owners coming with USB port issues. These ports are generally located in the storage compartment beside the gear shift lever, specifically in the front central area near the driver's seat side – you can easily feel them by looking down. The port position is designed at a moderate height to avoid bumps while driving. I must remind everyone not to wash that area with water, as USB ports are prone to moisture-induced short circuits. There was once a case where someone spilled a drink and burned out the port, which was quite troublesome to repair. Although the location is somewhat concealed, it's easy to maintain – just gently wipe away dust with a cotton swab. Additionally, different configurations of the new Tiggo 8 may have varying numbers of USB ports. For example, higher-end models come with an extra one near the rear air conditioning vent, making it convenient for rear passengers to charge their devices, which is quite thoughtful.
