Thank you so much for this! Had my is350 for 3 years and the AUX was so finicky 😂 Ordered the replacement part you mentioned and added a Bluetooth adapter… sound is so much crisper 🔥
I haven’t tried replacing it but the issue with mine is that when I press the aux/disc button, the aux doesn’t come up only disc option. Anyone know what’s up with that?
@@poser_bob9781 it’s the same issue Luke (and myself) is having in the video, if you jiggle and mess with the aux cable and the aux port you’ll have sound, if you’ve tried different aux cables then it’s most likely the port and you’ll have to change, or have a little jank set up like me😅 but I’m planning on changing it soon
@@nanospinto4533 yeah I’ve found wiggling around the aux port seems to work most of the time for me, but having to mess with jt every day gets a bit annoying. I might just end up replacing the port🤣
Bro thank you so much for sharing this. I got the part but I have a small issue. There is a cable/converter missing. I only have the 5 pin output and it’s not the right input. Any idea where I can get the converter from 5 pin to whatever goes in the back of the aux?! Or what is it called ? I have been trying to look for it but can’t find anything. Thanks again much appreciated.
Thank you for your quick reply. I have an is250 2008. May be I am not using the correct words to describe it, everything is exactly the same as you have in the video, except the aux part I received doesn’t come with the white cable attached to it. So now I am stuck with the flat output, and no extension to connect to the port. As the car didn’t even have the previous aux port when I bought it. It’s missing a connection cable. I can send you the photos if that’s ok.
@@minasamy3528 Yeah if you didn't have an aux port to begin with then just adding one isn't gonna work. This video is just to repair the aux port that's already in the car. If you want to send photos go ahead. I'm on Facebook messenger. Do you have a Facebook account??
@@Jedi_Luke the car had the place for the port and the cables , aux option I. The stereo and everything, the previous owner removed the old port for some reason so I am getting a replacement but it’s missing the white extension. It didn’t come with it. I have messenger , mine is Mina Samy. What’s yours? Mine is too common to find
You just saved my life thank you so much. I have two questions. How do you diagnose this as the problem? And if it is the problem, can I purchase the aux port from a scion tc as they're identical aside from the part number?
You diagnose it by having to jiggle your aux cord around just to get sounds from all the speakers. Yes you can get the Scion part, it is identical and works exactly the same. I ended up getting one for my car. Lexus and Toyota are the same for most parts.
Thank you so much for this video! But I messed up. I unplugged the old aux port first, then took off the back of the console. Now the little wire has dropped into the depths of the center console. Any suggestions as to how to get it out? I was trying to break off that annoying tab, when it fell down in....
Use some tweezers or long needle nose pliers would be the only way, other than taking the whole console off. I hope you get it sorted out. Thanks for watching. Subscribe for Lexus videos.
@@Jedi_Luke the problem is the angle... I have to hook my finger just to touch it at all. There are 2 bolts at the bottom of the back of the console. Do you think if I unscrewed them I could lift it just enough to grab the wire?
@@krenn93 you can try that. I honestly never had that problem so other that taking it all apart I wouldn't know of any other ways. I was extra careful not to drop it in there lol
I need help so my radio works and cd player but i do not get the aux option when i go through the modes. when the aux cord is connected it is not even recognized. I checked to see if the wire for the aux is connected underneath the armrest so i followed the steps in the video and it is connected. will getting a new aux port solve this issue? the car is is250 2009 thanks in advance
Yes that's the same problem I had. Once you plug in the aux cord it should pop up once you cycle thru the inputs. Definitely replace the aux port unit. The part is less than $20 so you don't have anything to lose.
@@Jedi_Luke this is just an update i got the part and i installed it. it works 100% when i took it to lexus they wanted to charge me 800 to run diagnostics and find the issue but I was lucky to find your video and you a legend buddy. keep it up! once again thanks!!!
hey great video but the adapter before I buy it, it comes with the harness right because im looking at the same one you presented and I don't see the harness that your using to connect them
I'll see if I can make a video for that. I couldn't seem to find a aux port on the ES from a quick internet search. Do you know where it is located on your car?
@@Jedi_Luke its also in the middle compartment but instead of the port facing up, the port is on the side facing to the other side. That makes it a lot harder to see the port because the compartment is small.
@@Jedi_Luke I have 2008 ES350 with this issue. The port is in the console but at the front of the console about three quarters of the way down. Any ideas would be appreciated.
It's called the aux input jack. Don't bother looking for one for a Lexus cuz they are over $100 on ebay. Find one for a Scion. You probably have to buy the whole cable and aux port unit, i haven't seen any separately online. You can try junkyards. There's various models with the same parts. What in the world happened to yours? Did you break it or lose it or something??
Thank you, i’m pretty sure I did break it. I replaced the aux port and it started working but recently it’s been losing connection and I noticed it only worked when I apply constant pressure to the cable
Just bought a 2011 is250 today. It’s wild how good it feels for being a 2011. I noticed your mileage and wondered if you’d had any issues with your car that I should be prepared for.
Pretty solid cars if you can get one that wasn't dogged out by the previous owner. The main issues are this aux port for example. The front lower control arms will kill your tires, and the carbon buildup on the valves can get pretty bad. Clean the valves, install a oil catch can and you'll be golden. Other than that it's mainly cosmetic issues. Seats, door panels and especially the dashboard gets sticky and melts. If your car has already had the recall done on the dash and door panels, then you're good to go. I'm on my second Lexus, first the 250 and now a 350. I made sure the dash was replaced on both.
@@Jedi_Lukethanks for the reply! Yeah this one has the panel fixed, and I can see on the service history it had a “complete fuel system clean/flush” at the dealer but I’m not sure if that was to address carbon or not. It’s for 119,000 on it and drives exponentially better than my 2020 VW.
@@Tyler7585 Oh Lord, excellent upgrade! VWs are terrible cars money pits at higher mileage. I have to work on those things all the time lol. I don't know if a fuel system flush will address the carbon issue, but you definitely need to address that as well. That carbon buildup will definitely cause issues down the line. It's the main reason I got rid of my 250 and got a 350. 350's don't have that problem.
Hey man I’m having a similar issue I was wondering if you could help , My aux was working normally until my friend pulled the wire really hard . Now whenever I click the aux option it shows up but theirs no sound and my phone plays music from its own speaker not from the car speaker .
First of all thank you very much for replying so fast , I have tried 3 different aux cables when I select the aux input it still works but no sound , it actually shows up I’m hoping the aux receiver in the radio is not fried , I will open and check the aux port itself to make sure , but I noticed most people with the six port problem they’re aux input wouldn’t even show up so this makes me think that might no be the problem
@@saadahmad2087 make sure half of that first aux cord didn't break off in the hole. I had that happen one time. Honestly tho if your aux port is bad just replace it. I made this video to show people a cheaper way to fix it instead of buying a Lexus brand part.
@@smuy6186 Replace the wire harness. Cut the old one like 2 inches away from the plug connector and wire in a new one. You can go to a junkyard and just cut a new one out of pretty much any other Toyota or Lexus with an aux port.
@@Jedi_Luke the ones on ebay are coming up without the wiring harness, did you reuse the wiring harness from your lexus or did the part you ordered come with a wiring harness aswell
@@bigguy154 Your wire harness should be fine unless you damaged it. The part that goes bad is the aux input unit itself. Before you order make sure the wire harness you have will match the one you're buying. It was the 4 pin unit for the Lexus IS in this video. Try this part number on eBay 86190-06010
Thanks for the vid. Your dash looks great. Mine is all melted and cracked. The douche bags at Lexus won’t replace it. They want to charge me more then what the car it is worth to do it and I’m the original owner. Luxury my butt. Because of this I won’t be buying a Lexus for my next car.
Don't let a dash ruin your experience. These are very dependable cars. I flipped one over and it kept me alive. They sell dash covers on eBay that look like the real thing for a few hundred bucks. The dash recall was only for 10 years, these cars are old. Lexus has to move on eventually and worry about new cars. If you really want a good dash and plan on keeping that car forever then look for someone doing a part out and just replace it yourself.
@@josephadrihan885 You just plug the cord in. The radio detects it automatically. If the radio doesn't then you need to replace the part shown in the video.
@@jayk9920 I would assume it's the same. Lots of Toyota parts interchange. Just google a photo of a 4Runner wire harness and match it up with the Lexus/Scion part
i have a 2009 IS250 without the nav screen... When i press the CD/Aux botton, the radio doesn't register with the "Aux" option. It just goes to the CD feature. Would changing out the AUX port resolve the issue? Right now i can't use the aux cable.. It goes straight to CD only.
Yes plugging it up automatically registers the aux device. If it's not showing up, then your aux port must not be working. It's a cheap part so you aren't losing much even if it doesn't fix the issue.
