I stripped my Baofeng down and tapped right of the board what I needed.  My 888 is different then the one below but I followed those instructions. Tapping from the High side of volume control and mic line with some resistors to wiring COR right the op amp. I don’t need to worry about volume control on the knob, I adjust in the menu. Actually I took my volume knob off to fit it all in a small case. 

Certainly not a plug and play route, I put all the guts in a box and made a nice kit. Not sure how others are doing it but for me the 888 is a great radio to make a kit out of.
