I've been driving an Audi A6 for several years, and the USB port in the armrest box is the most convenient. Open the front center armrest box, and you'll see the USB port when you look down—just plug in to listen to music. In newer models, the port might be hidden in a small compartment on the lower left side, while older versions may have it near the cigarette lighter on the dashboard. If your car has wireless CarPlay, connecting via Bluetooth is even easier. The USB port only recognizes FAT32-formatted drives, so avoid using NTFS. Before plugging in, it's best to clean up unnecessary files on the USB drive to prevent system lag. If you can't find the port, check the armrest box's inner compartments or below the rear AC control panel—some higher-end models have extra ports there. If all else fails, refer to page 87 of the owner's manual—it's clearly illustrated.
I'm quite familiar with finding USB ports! Most Audi A6 models have their ports hidden inside the center armrest compartment. Just lift the lid and you'll feel the slot marked with the SS symbol. Older models might have it in the storage compartment under the center console. Remember to use the blue USB 3.0 port for faster data transfer - the black one is fine for charging but slower for data reading. After plugging in, select 'Media' on the central display and choose USB to play content. Important reminder: Don't use USB drives larger than 128GB as the car's system might not recognize them. It's best to place songs directly in the root directory without too many folders. Last week when helping a colleague find the port, we discovered his new A6's USB was actually hidden in a secret compartment inside the glove box, requiring a Type-C adapter to use.
