But luckily this can now be fixed.aaronmihe's articlehttp://photos.ausmicro.net/BA_Falcon/AUX_Audio.pdf Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/23832-premium-sound-auxiliary-input/#findComment-356447 Share on other sites More sharing options...

69ADY Member 85 Member For: 19y 11m 6d Location: Sunny Coast, Qld Posted 05/03/06 12:45 PM Share Posted 05/03/06 12:45 PM Not sure on whether you guys have to take the ICC out when you hook up extra audio components, as I haven't done any.... BUT, if you DO.... on a recent night course I did, they (FORD), state that if you tilt the ICC Module more than 18 degrees, you have the possibility of damaging the CD player by internal components dislodging if it is empty. And under no circumstance, lay it down, as this will cause the liquid crystal display to deteiorate from that point on....Only way to best avoid this is to keep the player full with CD's in the unit, and as upright as possible.Apparently in shipping when new though, this LCD does not get damaged supposedly due to the fact that they have not been powered up. The CD players also have an "assembly" card preventing the CD player components from dislodging in shipment.Just thought I should share info given on the courseCheers ADRIAN.

I have the new plug and booster in the ute and had the old plug in the last car. Niether car of mine had the whine which some have experienced. Might try plugging the old one into the ute next weekend and see if it's there or not....
