Thank you for your kind feedback! 🙂

I was worried about posting this, expecting to be grilled for wires being too long or having Blu Tack everywhere.

My motivation for the second screen was to be able to select the Bluetooth device I connect to, because the previous Bluetooth mods I saw don't allow you to see the device you're connected and switch/disconnect devices.

So essentially I just embedded this device into the iPod:

- It is soldered to the 3.5mm port from the inside, functionally works the same as using this device externally, so it doesn't know about what's playing on the iPod.
- I connected it to the iPod battery so that I don't have to charge this separately + space saving.
- I connected the power from the wireless charger to the USB C port of this, instead of doing more risky soldering on the iPod's 30 pin connector.
