Where to Insert a USB Drive in a Car?
2 Answers
Some USB drives are inserted on the car's center console, while others are placed inside the car's storage compartment. The location for inserting a USB drive varies depending on the type of car. Here is some related knowledge about inserting USB drives in cars: 1. Purpose: Most USB drives contain downloaded music. The car can read music data from the USB drive for playback. 2. Notes: Generally, cars can recognize music formats such as MP3 or WMA. When downloading music, it is essential to pay attention to the file format. If the music format is incorrect, the car's system will not recognize it.
My car is a Volkswagen Lavida, and the USB port is located in the storage compartment right below the infotainment screen—just lift the rubber cover to see it. Last time, my friend spent ages looking for it, but it's actually the small square slot with a symbol right under the air conditioning knob. Some older models have it inside the glove compartment, so you’d need to open the passenger-side storage box to find it. German cars often hide the port in the armrest—like my colleague’s BMW, where you have to open the center console. A quick reminder: before plugging in, check if your USB drive is in FAT32 format, as NTFS might not be readable by the car’s system. Also, don’t force it in—some ports have fragile plastic parts that can break easily. Once connected, the car’s screen will pop up a music list, and you can just select songs directly—super convenient!
