C30 USB Port

scrumper · May 18th, 2021, 22:02

The USB Port in our 2013 C30 R Design has a bent pin. The USB Port is in the storage box below the cupholder at the back of the centre console.

I've got a replacement port, but it's not obvious what is the best route in to replace it.

Anyone done this, or know how to get to the back of it?

The following should help:

There are a number of other useful YouTube videos if you search "volvo v50 remove center console" (most of them are US videos).

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I’ve watched some of those and had the trim panel off. This doesn’t give access to the back of the USB port. It’s where to go next after removing the trim panel.

About 1/3 of the way through this.

New USB port fitted this afternoon, pretty straightforward with access. Also attached a short 10cm USB extension lead so that any future damage should be to it and not the pricey Volvo part.
