2018 mk8 Trend missing USB port?

Postby Kipz » Fri Sep 24, 2021 10:04 pm

Hello - kipz here, new to the forum!

I've just got a 68 reg Mk8 L3H3 Transit 350 (Trend), but I'm baffled by the apparent lack of a USB port.

It has Sync 3 as far as I can tell (bluetooth, wifi etc), and reckons it supports Android Auto/Apple Car Play via its USB port (as does my phone).

But for the life of me, I can't find any USB ports - just a single 12v socket.

Is it possible that it doesn't have any USB ports?

If so, is it possible to fit them so that Android Auto will work and so on?

Any thoughts most welcome.

Does the 68 plate have the lift up lid above the instruments like a 65 plate mines in there along with a plug socket

Thanks, found it. Feel like a right idiot, bit I would never have expected the ports to be so inaccessible...wires will be pinched by the lid when closed!

There is a little cutout on the edge both sides for the wire to pass through I think the idea is you can put your phone under the lid to keep it safe.

Yeah - to be fair, I'm finding it super useful. With Android Auto going, I don't actually need to access my phone, so keeping it safe in there is working well :)
