Q: Does USB-C port support 'A-C' & 'C-C' cables?
A: Yes. The USB-C module I used comes with 5.1k ohm resistors so any USB-C charger will work (including PD chargers - although not PD speeds).

Q: Do all Bluetooth speakers/headphones work?
A: Bluetooth devices that have a 'pairing password' will not work. Other than those devices, all other speakers/headphones will work.

Q: Does audio jack still work?
A: Yes. I can continue to use wires headphones if I want.

Q: What does the switch do?
A: ON/OFF switch for Bluetooth module.

Q: What does the button do?
A: It can pair new BT devices & disconnect them.

Q: What is the LED for?
A: It's an indicator LED. When a BT device is currently connected to the N3DSXL, it lights up. If there are no BT devices connected, it's turned off.

Q: Will this hard mod work on any other 3DS console?
A: It is possible, but you might have limited space to work with.

Q: How much did this cost to DIY?
A: USD $24.80 (Not including cost of wires, soldering kit, & mini electric Dremel/nail drill).

Q: Where can I buy the parts you used?
A: Links are all available below.
