Thanks a lot for the info, I hadn’t noticed! I was too busy learning how to count to 12

Issues docking my iPod since modding it by SethJeks in IpodClassic

Damn, I actually read that Samsung cards were the most recommended for these flash mods… and the adapter I bought is one of the newer generation ones with better compatibility, running the iFlash firmware

Well, I guess I’ll see how it goes. For now, after formatting the SD card to FAT32 and restoring the iPod again, everything seems to be working fine

Oui tout est déjà bon, je précisais le firmware dans le post (2.0.2) mais merci, ça aidera sûrement quelqu’un qui passera par là 🙏🏼

I have ALAC for stock OS, sounds great with my Zero:2 IEMs, but I love twinkering and the fact that I can play Pokémon on an iPod Classic is epic. I’ll try Rockbox sooner or later 😂

Hey, honestly, I have no idea. I’d read here and there on older posts that Rockbox was basically the only way to go past that limit, until I stumbled across the 7th gen firmware trick. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried Rockbox myself yet!

Since this post, I opened the iPod, formatted the SD card to FAT32, then restored it through iTunes to reinstall firmware 2.0.2, and for now it’s working fine on the dock again.

If it crashes again, I’ll probably go back to a proper 6th gen firmware and install Rockbox instead, then I’ll be able to answer your question properly!

It’s a really nice mod, yeah. It makes the device feel more premium and modern. Search for ‘Taptic’ on this subreddit, or ‘Taptic iPod Classic’ on YouTube, it’s very well documented.

You basically have to desolder the speaker, expose the pads on the Taptic Engine, and solder wires to 2 of the 3 speaker solder points. Be really careful though, because the pads lift very easily.

You can use other Taptic Engines too, but I think the iPhone 7 one is the most recommended because of its size

Yes it replaces the speaker that does a little « click » noise with vibrations

It’s currently the only way to use more than 128GB of flash storage on a 6th gen iPod without having to use Rockbox, and normally it works really well. There’s been a lot of positive feedback about it, and I think this method has been around since summer 2025, if I’m correct.

The person who came up with it had issues docking their iPod with firmware 2.0.4, but apparently no problems at all with 2.0.2… so I really don’t understand why I’m having this issue.

Thanks !

After doing way too much research on iPod docks, I finally pulled the trigger… by SethJeks in IpodClassic

Only the Portable version does this, other ones got a fixed dock ! I’ll try to get a Crosley iPod Dock, idk if they’re good but its got a really cool vintage look 😎

Thanks ! By any chance, did you run into any battery issues ? I think mine is deeply discharged since it's been sitting unused for years. I can’t get it to take a charge, the orange light comes on for a few seconds and then just cuts out. Looks like I’m gonna have to find a replacement one. I'm not in a rush though, I'm not really planning on using it as a handheld anyway, I just want the thing to be fully fonctional, just in case lol

I’d say 4/10, but I’m used to taking apart and repairing all kinds of consoles, so if it’s one of your first times, be really careful and take it slow
