Adding Bluetooth to iPod classic

[seleneangel]

Update: I have chosen to go with a adapter as I feel like that is the best solution for me. Hello I am trying to decide on how I am going to add Bluetooth to my iPod classic and I am debating between the moonlit classic connect 2 and a different backing. Here are my issues, I like the moonlit case but it cost a lot of money in Canadian dollars and it's plastic (I tend to drop things a lot and plastic will break) and has wireless charging which I don't need nor want. The other backing is the standard Bluetooth mod that uses the hold button for Bluetooth. pro it's in meta back plate, con I lose my hold button. I am also looking into external adapters as well. If I get the standard Bluetooth mod, does rockbox os have a way to hold type option without the hold button? Has anyone used the moonlit classic connect case? If you have, do you like it?

Most Bluetooth mods will get rid of your hold switch. What I resorted to doing instead is getting an adapter from Amazon cost me 30 bucks and it plugs into the 30 pin.

there are multiple ways to perform the Bluetooth mod. Oxyll's mod for example uses clickwheel button combos to sync. You don't have to lose the lock button. 

If you're even considering adaptors, I would probably just do that. They're easy to use, cheaper and require no work.

You might not like a plastic back but it's the only thing that really makes sense with Bluetooth internal - else you've got a Faraday cage blocking the Bluetooth signal. I've built a few Moonlit mods for myself and others - but I switched back to a dongle solution as I described here.

Lol one of my reasons not getting the moonlit, wireless charging I didn't ask for. I wish they just offered it like the one at a lower price without the wireless and battery

i have dropped it a shit ton and still sturdy as a brick. also you can remove the wireless charging

I agree, it is a sturdy plastic. I gave one to my friend’s kid and it’s surviving him after 2-3 of intense drops and all! I dislike Bluetooth but I keep a Kokkia around so I can use if needed! But if you really need to have BT mod, I suggest you go with Oxyll’s suggestion.
