XJ6 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Just got my new 2021 Aviator Reserve yesterday and love it. I got the music from a USB thumb drive to play in the USB port in the center console “media bin”. Kind of sticks out and might get broken. I found USB ports on the back of the front console and inside the rear seat console bin but they both apparently just are for charging and not streaming. The book said there MAY be ports in the center armrest console bin or under the dash but I can’t find any there. Anyone know if there are any hidden USB ports that stream music? Thanks.

akirby Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 They make super low profile USB drives that work great. Mine is only about 1/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRunrGuy Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 or maybe a 90-degree adapter? HRG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92merc Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I use a micro SD USB adapter like this one. Stick my size chip in it. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MobileMate-microSD-Card-Reader/dp/B07G5JV2B5/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=micro+sd+usb+adapter&qid=1615404162&sr=8-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What akirby, HRG or 92merc stated. I went with the same solution as akirby. A mini USB drive like any of these: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=mini+usb+drives Click on the "Shopping" link at the top. Mine happens to be a 128GB Samsung model. Only the small plastic cap sticks out of the port. Completely out of the way and the only way you could break it would be to hit it pretty darn hard with a hammer. ? Fits unobtrusively in the front USB port in the front "ashtray" of my MKZ, and the lid shuts easily (I realize you have an Aviator). Good luck.

XJ6 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Thanks to all for the quick reply. Yes, I think that Flash drive with just a very small nub of a handle will work great. Thanks for the suggestion. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
