In the glove box or under the center console. After locating the port, insert the USB flash drive containing music into the vehicle's USB interface, then turn on the power switch of the car's center console panel. Follow the on-screen instructions and press the operation button to switch to USB file reading for usage. USB Flash Drive File Format: Most vehicles can only recognize music files in MP3 and WMA formats. If the music file format downloaded to the USB flash drive does not match, the vehicle may fail to read the music files. (Solution: Convert the music file format to MP3 or WMA.) USB Flash Drive Storage Path: If the music files in the USB flash drive are stored too deep in the directory, the vehicle may also fail to read the music files. (Solution: Try to place the music files in the root directory of the USB flash drive.)
I'm very familiar with the infotainment system of the 2021 Honda CR-V. The USB port is usually located deep inside the center console armrest. Open that compartment, and you'll see two USB ports where you can directly plug in to play music or access files. From my experience, the FAT32 format is the most compatible and ensures smooth playback. I recommend storing high-quality songs and avoiding cluttered files that might slow down loading. Never operate the system while driving – safety first, make adjustments only when parked. Also, don't fill the USB drive completely; leave some free space to prevent system lag. Keeping the ports clean is crucial too – just gently wipe away dust with a cotton swab.
In my experience with the 2021 CR-V, the USB port is conveniently located in the storage compartment next to the gear shift. Using a USB drive to play music is very practical, especially during long trips, with clear and non-irritating sound. Remember to securely insert the USB drive before starting the audio system to avoid power interruptions midway. For healthy usage, avoid choosing USB drives with excessively large capacities; around 32GB is optimal. Bumps in the car can affect the lifespan of the USB drive, so keeping it in a fixed position reduces movement. If the weather is hot, avoid leaving USB devices in a stuffy car as it can shorten their lifespan. It's safer to operate after parking and turning off the engine.
