I have been looking for a way to add a auxiliary input into my factory unit as everything works and I like to keep everything looking and working factory. Although I have found some solutions, I would never be happy with them. That is when I came across my silver bullet.

I couldn't believe how cheap it is and ordered one straight away. Single din units too. Now the wait.
I also was thinking that I could use the volume control via the steering wheel control loom from one of these Chinese eBay double din units. I now have the feeling that the volume control actually controls the factory amp in the boot. Is this correct?

Generally the volume control regulates how much signal is fed from the pre-amp stage to the power amp stage.

So my guess is that it's regulating what is being fed from the head unit to the rear amp.

Just a word of warning with regards to the metra kit and a Ebay double din unit. I purchased the same combo and found the Hu was to wide for the Metra kit. I had to cut away the sides of the kit. This isn't so much the kits fault as i'm sure if you use a brand name head unit it will fit perfectly.

I also had to modify the bottom of it as it would foul the ashtray lit and stop it from opening/closing.
