Default AUX input jack issue

Does anyone use the aux jack in the center console and have any issues with noise? I have a staticky/chattering sound when I put the selector in AUX mode. It usually stops when I plug in my device (iPod, iPad, etc.), but sometimes it doesn't stop.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

sounds like a dirty connection somewhere - possible a bad ground wire is letting some noise in (when you plug in the device it may create a better ground). You can try some electronics cleaner, compressed air etc in the jack or see if the contacts on the radio are clean.

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried compressed air to see if that was the issue and it seems that wasn't effective.

Thanks again.
