Interesting, I had't seen a plug and play before
I did the $7 ebay generic board, hacked into the wiring myself behind cooler box AUX

works great, one of the most enjoyable mods I've done - brings the LR3 even more up-to-date

I bought one of those boards and was all set to get splicing, then saw that plug and play on eBay.

I will try it and report back..

Okay, so this module did not work. output was too low.

I ordered a different one that showed an actual LR3 6 disc head unit in use. So I ordered that.

If that doesn't work I will try the board I picked up.

I am no electronics expert

My guess is that something in the LR AUX board back there messes up the input levels, and plug-in solutions retain that problem. Most of us have that volume issue when we try to use OEM AUX port in the 2nd row - the levels are just bad.

When I spliced in my ebay board, I completely removed the LR AUX port and the entire attached circuit board located back there.

My new board was then hard-wired to power, both grounds, L/R audio - and I also added my own generic AUX port (my board has that input option), so it looks OEM when you open that flap, and the port is also usable by anyone with an audio cable. The one thing I haven't done yet is to separate 1 ground wire via rocker switch, so I can connect/disconnect it.

Remember the silly little AUX plug YPX500070 you are supposed to use for an overhead DVD?
I think 1 ground wire is switched via that dummy plug to activate/deactivate that accessory.
But we don't use that overhead player so I haven't bothered.

Good luck!

Interesting… the low level is the reason I abandoned that aux port. I’d love to go back to it. Got a link to that board you wired in?
