AUX issues with devices but not headphones

Hello everyone,
I've been going mad trying to solve this, hoping anyone could be of help here.

I've owned my S7 with Bell for about a year now, and a month ago my AUX port started acting up. When I plug it into my car (Dodge Caravan 2011), I get what sounds like a feedback loop. It's a constant sound of "dadum dadum dadum" like a skipping CD player.

The phone itself does not recognize that it's been plugged in, playing sound on it will just play on the phone's speakers. I have tried doing a software full reset, it didn't help. I have tried cleaning my connectors, also failed.

I have tried 4 different AUX cables, same issue.
I have tried using my phone with those AUX cables in 2 other cars (Ford Fusion 2013, Ford Explorer 2015), same issue, didn't work.
I have tried hooking up another S7 to my car, it works fine

Has anyone encountered this issue and found a way to fix it without sending in their phone?
 
you've tested your device in multiple vehicles, with multiple aux cables, and all had a problem... you also tested another device and it worked fine. you said you did a full factory reset ("software reset"). as long as you setup as a new phone, didn't restore from a backup and/or download a bunch of stuff before testing, then by deduction and elimination the issue is with your device.
