GLC300 2020 USB location

Hi,

This is really weird but I just got a GLC300 2020 and the only usb ports I can see are the 2 under the arm rest. None found at front. All I see is a cigarettes port and a small compartment for phone? ( i dont even know what this is for). Am I missing something? it’s been real annoying using the one under arm rest

Yup. Only two under the armrests. Stupid design flaw. What I do is run a cable through where the armrest lids meet. Doesn't interfere with the closing of the lids.

I initially used a cheap usb adapter in the cigarette lighter outlet but then replaced that with a wireless charger (replaces the ashtray) which also has an USB port.. Much cleaner looking, great if you're not a smoker .

Just google "GLC300 QI wireless charger" and you'll find lots of suppliers. The one I got off amazon is not there anymore but here is a similar one

That's a lot nicer looking than an Alibaba version I saw in another thread. Does your phone block one of the cup holders?

I have an older iphone that's only about 5.5" long so it just clears without blocking the cup holder. Anything larger would block the cup holder as shown in your picture.

I was going to buy one of those wireless chargers as well but then realized that mercedes still doesn't have wireless android auto! So I have to plug my phone in anyway. And it charges faster with a wired connection. So yeah.
