aux in module easy fix

the aux-in in my car did not work properly for a long time, I have been dreading it knowing it is PITA to get to the AUX-in module. Many people suggested that I have to take the whole console apart to gain access to the aux-in module, so I tried. I spent 2 hours trying taking things apart, and finally realized it wasn't necessary at all. It could be done in 5 minutes! All you need to do is to stick a long screw driver underneath and push it out with some force. My photos will explain everything.
after I pop out the module, I found some white powdery stuff covering the circuit board. I simply cleaned it and it is working perfectly now.

At first, it sounded like mono am radio and the level was very low. It kept getting worst over time, finally became a vocal eliminator. you can hear the background music but the singer disappear. I think the left right channels had short circuit eliminating anything in the center of the stereo image.

Sounds like you need to be more careful with your blow.

BMW F10 USB/AUX port replacement

All you need is a small screwdriver with a sharp front. Just tuck it in from front edge and push it outside. Took less than a minute.

My USB port works 95% of the time. As I plug into my iphone, it wouldn't charge and podcast won't play. Will this be a similar fix to AUX?

My friend broke mine, so after getting a cheap eBay unit i did a YouTube search and it shows you need to remove the whole front and rear console. WRONG.
Since I was replacing it, all you need to do is place needle nose pliers in the USB slot and PULL! Came right out. Instead of using the new piece, i placed the new USB part into my stock housing so i could retain the stock dust flap and look. Works great.
