03/04 D2B audio decoder- possible breakthrough

Just ran across this.
. The price is a little steep at $280 and an expected arrival date of June is not ideal, but this would be huge for those of us with 03/04 cars on D2B where there's never been an adapter available to put in an aftermarket headunit

it's been going in and out of stock on ebay. the last listing they jacked the price way up, but here is the most recent one that is now sold out https://www.ebay.com/itm/D2B-Fiber-O...MAAOSwDHtf3cgY. i'd just watch the seller or message them to see when more are going to be available.
