As the title states - my USB and AUX ports aren't working. I checked the fuses and they are ok. Any thoughts?

It could be the connector is loose. You can pop the side panel on the middle console out and check.

Thanks... do I need special tools to pop out the side panel?

Tried different USB device/cable?

I did try different a USB device/cable but it didn't work. Thanks for the idea though. The "Aux" tab is in gray on the display screen too. So maybe loose connector or just faulty usb/aux thing?

Thanks naser - so did the Lexus tech do what was in the video from this thread? Unscrew the gear shift and pop out the bottom piece?

naser075

no he took out the side ones then just lifted the part where shifter is ,... he did unscrew the shifter and putt it on N before hand ,.. .all that really quick am telling u less then 45 sec

Ok - so I popped out the console area underneath the shifter and the USB/Aux port and... it was plugged in properly.

I even unplugged it and plugged it back in just in case. Restarted the car and the port still isn't working or showing up. Any other thoughts anyone? Bad port, or wiring, or could be anything I guess?

at this point change the plug itself the hole unit it is fairly expensive but u can find it on eBay for cheap,... also to be honest i find this USB port has no real use to it even after i fixed mine i don't ever use it
