You can switch between headphone jack and bluetooth pretty seamlessly.

You can set the volume from the iPod, other mods use 30 pin BT connectors which use lineout volume.
So while having an iPod classic with integrated bluetooth is pretty sweet there are a few drawbacks: Once you've double checked everything's still working you are ready for the last step. Once you find something to use as a button place it in the hole you drilled in the backplate and use hot glue to secure it from the outside (will make your life 10x easier). None of them work amazingly, although the screw was pretty good size-wise. Trimming down the button from the original bluetooth module.Taking the tips from breadboard buttons.I have done this twice with iFlash Single boards, triple check before you start cutting bits from your iFlash Quad but it should be fine too.īefore you put the iFlash connector in you may have noticed in most of the pictures there is one of the foam cutouts from the iFlash board behind the bluetooth chip, put that in there to stop the chip being pushed backwards by the button press.Īlso from Image #2 mark on the case where you need to drill the whole for for the button in the backplate, it will need to be quite low on the case angled slightly downwards, I've not got it to work directly on the side. Using the same wire cutters from earlier snip a bit off the side the the iFlash connector, this is because the button gets in the way of it otherwise (See Image #2). Now's a good time to plug the battery in and check that the bluetooth board is getting power. Once the wires are soldered on, they should look a little like the second picture, try and solder as close to the base as possible as putting the plastic battery connector back on top can break the solder if too much pressure is applied. Once they're soldered to the BT board place the board in the iPod and solder the connectors to the iPod battery terminals (Tin the terminals first, seriously). So back to the pauper method for me.įirstly I measured the length of the wires and soldered them to the BT board, it can get very fiddly and tricky to solder stuff in the confined spaces in the iPod. Be gentle with them because they are a pain to put back on if they come out (But if they do you always have a spare, right?).Ī smarter man might solder directly to + and - on the battery terminals, I tried this and it blew up. You'll want to remove the board to get the best access, get a decent amount of flux and carefully tin the outside pins for VCC and GND. Ok now for the tough part, using my super helpful wiring diagram you can see that of the 5 pins in the battery connector they are VCC VCC TEMP GND GND (Pull the plastic connector off to see all 5).
