    OK, I have had many cars with AUX inputs, but the prius is the worst

    I plug my IPOD in and i get static and pop while playing..

    What give, is there a TSB or dealer fix. ;)

    Couple of things--

    First, how's your cable? I used a really cheap one that caused some noise. I replaced it, and it sounds fine.

    Second, if your power cord is plugged into your iPod, too, that will cause some terrible feedback. There's a piece you can get to reduce this...search this board; I know there've been several posts about it.

    It is possible that your AUX input is defective, of course, but these are the two things I would try first. Of course, test your iPod's output, too.

    Hope this helps. I feel your frustration--my iPod is muy importante to me, too!

    Yep. If unplugging the power cable to the iPod solves the prob, you need a ground loop isolator. I had his problem until I stumbled across the solution on this board or priusonline.com. This NEEDS to be a FAQ entry somewhere.
