It is probably the main option for entertainment. Vehicle owners have the possibility of using it on their journeys, being ideal for long trips.

Almost all vehicle models (starting with models 2010) have a USB port on the dashboard for the purpose of transferring data to the entertainment screen, being divided into two file options: music and non-music.
Why not USB works
Now yes, we come to the point that has made us consult this article. Why is my vehicle’s USB port not working? First of all, with so much use, the metal surface of the port can wear, so the cable would not have enough information to transmit and receive the data.

On the other hand, the problem may be in the USB port but in the car. You can do the same procedure on the unit on the board.
Many models do not have a cover that prevents the entry of dirt or particles that prevent its optimal operation, and over time it can become to form a film of dirt.
