You should be able to find it with a simple search.

Do you have a link where you get the Canadian TSB? and do you have a copy of the PDF you can post? Thanks!

Is this covered under the platinum extended warranty?

My dealer called and said it is covered under the platinum extended warranty, FYI.

A bump to this thread... The noise problem is present in my 09 prius when using power for the ipod and the aux port. Does anyone know if Toyota has updated the bulletin to include 09s? I'll look for it and edit this post if I find it.

Here's a pic of the noise filter installed per the TSB:

My Ipod and XM were noisy until I bumped up the output level. If you're using the headphone jack on the Ipod, turn volume up and the radio volume down. For XM you can get into the settings to turn up the output level to max, might be able to do that to the docking port interface settings in the Ipod too.

It's not just a matter of drowning out the noise, more signal actually makes the noise attenuate for some reason. That solved my problem.

I have the same problem in my '09. My volume on my iphone is turned all the way up. If I unplug the power, the noise goes away.

Any update on whether this TSB will work for the '09's?

I've noticed this too with my '09, particularly between tracks.

Ditto on the 09. My iPhone sounds beautiful through the AUX port, until I plug it into the 12v. Same thing for 2 different models of Sirius receivers I have available.

You would think after Toyota issues a TSB, they'd... you know, FIX the issue in future models.
