I have two problems with my aux input.

When driving there is a noise in the background of the music that seems to go with the RPMs of the vehicle. Probably a ground, but not sure where to look for those. Are there any inside the cabin I should look at?

I've been using a few auxillary cables and each are doing the same thing. I bought a $25 auxillary cable just to be sure it wasn't the cable itself and when I go over bumps whether slight or pronounced, the audio pops like someone is ripping the aux cable in and out extremely fast.

Any ideas? Can the auxillary port be pulled straight out without ripping apart the center console?

I found this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-released.html

Seems to outline my issues entirely...but my car is so old...would it even be worth calling the local dealership to see if they would take care of the TSB?

Coverage for the TSIB is only applicable during the bumper-to-bumper warranty period, so it's very unlikely your dealer would cover it as a good-will gesture.

The PAC ground loop isolator ( https://www.amazon.com/PAC-SNI-1-3-5.../dp/B001EAQTRI ) is a very common inexpensive fix for this issue.

Thanks for the reply, I'm trying to source the OEM parts to do this myself. I suspect that the aux port itself might be damaged because of the rapid signal loss.
