iPhone 17 Aux connection issues.

iPhone 17 Aux Cord issues. My phone is creating a static crackle as music is playing when connected to an aux cord in the car. My iPhone 11 has no issues when using the same cord (different adapter, both adapters are apple). There is clearly an issue but all possible options have been tried but now I suspect it’s an ios or apple problem and not a car problem

"Apple or iOS problem" is far less likely than a hardware problem with your phone. Particularly a dirty or damaged USBC port. Have it checked at an Apple Store
