Where on earth is the USB socket?

Post by MadMark » Sat Feb 27, 2021 9:16 pm

So I've just bought my first RS4 and I love the drive - but can I find a USB charging socket? No. Help required! :audibash:

In the glovebox to the left has a charging dock which I think is more like an HDMI socket.
When new, my RS4 came with a bunch of leads which you can then add a USB or other leads to that!
Or its just the use of the 12v socket in the armrest

Mine also has a selection of leads in the glove box but I've never tried using them tbh.
Like others I use the 12v armrest option. Be advised though, this plays havoc with the radio DAB reception!

I've a few different leads for the glove box socket, although my i-pod is plugged in there most of the time.
As above, the socket in the arm rest does the job, but I've never noticed any effect on the DAB reception. Hmmmm.
There's another 12V socket in the ashtray IIRC?

Oh god - I hope it doesn't mess with the DAB reception - because the socket in the ashtray is for smoking! :smile_smoking:
