Okay....so here is an email that I just got back from my sales person. I sent her an email today complaining about the "ground noise". I personally feel that if you spend $45K on a vehicle and they are boasting Auxiliary inputs...then it better work properly!....
I think Lexus is very aware of this issue because here is the response she sent back to me...from a technician:
I think Lexus is very aware of this issue because here is the response she sent back to me...from a technician:
The 2006 IS models are equipped with an Auxiliary audio input port. Some clients have noticed that if you use the vehicles power outlet to power the device being used (Ipod) loud feed back static can be heard. On page 198 (see below) of the owners manual it states that this static will occur when using the power outlet, the manual recommends using the devices own internal power. The clients that have experienced this feel that this is not very practical and is very inconvenient. I contacted Lexus technical and went over the concern that our clients are having, he stated that Lexus is aware of the concern and a TSIB to correct it is on the way. The engineer recommended a Ground Loop Isolator be installed on the power adapter to the device being used, I will find a source for them so we can take care of this in house until the TSIB counter measure is available

new email from sales person 
We can get it fixed for you. Of course it will not cost you a thing. Lexus is working on creating a bulletin on the problem for all of the existing IS350 clients. Can you leave it with us for the day? Shouldn’t take long, but I will get you a loaner.

Thanks for the info; if you obtain an official Lexus bulletin # that would help when we all go to our own salespersons/dealerships.

Personally, the isolator will be adding to the spaghetti of wires already in my center console. For now, I'm just listening to XM in the car...and will take my car in next week for them to integrate the isolator...or however they are correcting the issue.
