Default 2011 GX ultra premium USB/AUX ADAPTER removal help

hello every1,

the USB/aux ADAPTER ( Toyota part number 86190-53040 ) is not working , meaning not charging or recognizing phone in the system. I tried everything here in search engine from changing fuse to different cables and phones ,... it is just not working so i figured i would replace the hole little ADAPTER ,....any idea how to remove it or what might be wrong., i don't want to damage anything ,

PS: I changed battery at dealer and flushed all liquids as well if it is any help.

thank you

So there's no wire or connector at all? That's strange.

naser075: Anything show up odd in history of your vehicle at this site? Just curious if vehicle was ever in a wreck with any kind of airbag deployment. Or if it was ever stolen and some parts removed?

That's good to hear I don't think Lexus dealers in USA starts working on the cars unless you leave it for diagnostics, Cas they are suppose to make money by over selling you etc.
