Which USB port for Music thumb drive?

Is there a particular USB port and only one port that works for music? Is it the cupholder one? Does the armrest one work for music too?

Well, shit. Was hoping to have thumb drives a cables out of the way. May have to get creative.

For regular USB, these types work great if the port cannot be / isn’t hidden:

Gotta go find a USB-C version.

EDIT: these might work, but they definitely stick out:

For some dumb reason I was thinking the cupholder one is USB-C.
Online pics and owners manual show it as regular USB. I was JUST sitting in a showroom ‘24 and forgot to look.

Thanks for the correction.

My car is 3000 miles away right now (along with my memory).

I do recall at delivery trying to use the armrest port for entertainment. Maybe that’s the source of my brain fart. Or whatever’s remaining.

I use the one in the cupholder. It’s the only one that works. The one in the armrest is usb c for charging only. I used a micro card with adapter for my music files and it lives in that USB all the time. Cover closed just fine.
