Leon FR TDi USB port

I don't think the pre facelift Leons had a USB port, they either had an aux in the centre console, or an iPod dock under one of the front seats, can't remember if it was drivers or passengers side.

upon reading the manuals when i picked my '57 fr tdi up i was excited to read there was a usb port in the storage locker under the passenger seat - after 10 mins trying to work out how to open the damn thing i got it open and found .... nothing, the inside of the box!
it may be there just don't ask how i got it open, because i still don't know and haven't tried since!

The passenger's seat? I'm just going to go out and have a look and see if there is one there. I'm just back in after looking underneath the driver's seat (with a torch I may add) but couldn't see anything.
I've just had a look under the passenger's seat and there is a small storage area that opens up from the front, but there's nothing in there and no USB/iPod/iPhone dock. Is this where it is supposed to be? I've had a torch in and around the driver's and passenger's seat and cannot see any USB or iPhone/iPod connection.
Were they not on 2008 (58) FR models? I have the TDi (170bhp).
This would be gutting to find out that I have the car that doesn't have the connection.
Thats where its supposed to be but I've never seen any car with them, both mines was FRs and like I say they didn't have them. They had the storage thing but was empty. Im thinking has its VAG I'm thinking its a similar book to the Golf so maybe they had them and the Leon didn't, I've had this issue before with other things and Seat told me some of the functions are not available on the leon. Dunno if its true, you know what dealers are like, one will give you advise and another will tell you its wrong.I've just had a look under the passenger's seat and there is a small storage area that opens up from the front, but there's nothing in there and no USB/iPod/iPhone dock.

Very confusing.
The FAQ on this site for iPod connectivity says that it's under the driver's seat, but doesn't say that it's not on *all* models?
What age is your Leon?
Mine was an 07, then 08 now 10 plate soon to be 62 reg all have aux its only the 10 plate thats had the usb whice ive never used.
So I guess they're not on all models then?
Anyone else have a 2008 model with no USB?
Pre-face lift FRs came with the Aux-in (headphone socket) as standard.
Options in leiu of the Aux-in were:
USB socket under the drivers seat, in a cubby hole
OR
Ipod connector
You can only have one of these so if you've got the Aux-in, you don't have the USB or the Ipod connector. These were paid for options so if the original owner of your car was too much of a cheapskate, then you're outta luck.
(As the person who spec'd his 58 plate FR TDI with every option under the sun except 18" wheels,sunroof and satnav....)

Yes, I definitely have the Aux-In and i've tested it out and it works
To be fair, the original "owner" of the car was a company based in Swindon so I don't blame them for not overloading on options like a USB connector for a company car that they just handed over to a salesman.
Do you happen to know if it is possible to have a USB port fitted to the car?
I believe some members on here have had success with using Connects2 interfaces depending on whether you have steering wheel controls.
A less elegant, but cheaper solution is to just plug in one of those very cheap USB players via the audio jack. Song control is a bit more fiddly mind. Just don't plug your phone in, otherwise you run the risk of being done by the coppers for operating a handheld phone whilst driving.

I've got the ipod connector that my choon box plugs into, but the controls from the head unit/steering wheel are pig awful.

Anyone know what the max memory size is for the USB stick and the SD card?
I don't want to buy a big one of each and find they won't work.

Have a look here. It seems to vary depending on which one they tested. Having a brief look it seems Cruzer USB sticks can go upto 32GB
