Why is the USB socket upside down?

The USB socket is upside down. I noticed it when I tried to plug in an USB thumb drive. Does anyone else notice?

I noticed and wondered the same thing. Maybe some things are higher on the normal "top" and since there is little room above the USB, they point it down.

I have the Porsche USB stick, the one that shapes like a Panamera, so when I plug it in, the 'car' is upside down and it looks really stupid. There is still room beneath the cover and a right-side-up USB stick will not interfere. I think it is just an design overlook. I wonder if the rectangular plate can be installed upside down to correct it.

I have the Porsche stick too and use it when I download the logs but this takes about 15 seconds - in and out so no bother. There are a number of USB devices especially anything with antenna that point up but I suppose you could put a little extension in there to orient it in the box conveniently if you do flip it around. I'd be curious if you do successfully flip it and how difficult it was.

Just a curious question, when you download songs to the Jukebox, do you have problem displaying the album art?

I haven't done that. I took my old iPhone I no longer use for a phone and just leave it in the compartment plugged in (upside down ) and use the songs from that. I can update the iphone on the PC when I want to change song options. Not sure I even have a "Jukebox". I only have what came stock with turbo model, one CD, etc.

If your car has PCM/Navi, Jukebox comes standard beginning Nov 2012. My Cayenne S was produced in Jan this year so I have the Jukebox, I also have the optional PCC Porsche Car Connect.

OK, that explains it. My car is April 2012 vintage.
