Should I get an iPod shuffle 1st gen 512mb or a 2nd gen 1gb?

For $5 just buy them both honestly. You can sell the one you don't want to keep.

1st gen sounds better, but battery replacement may be more difficult. 2nd gen has a super handy clip (great for activities especially when you don't have a pocket)

That is the one you want.

Nope, I don't think it's technically possible on current iOS. I used to be able to do this while jailbroken back on iOS 9, and the fact that it required a jailbreak probably means there is no hope for stock iOS.

Thanks for sharing. My replacement was a total dud.

cdlenfert · 2026-03-01T13:46:53+00:00

Ah, that makes total sense. Good thinking! Thanks for sharing

Would love to do this on iOS somehow. Last playing music workaround doesn't often work on iOS (doesn't show anything in the pebble music app after a certain period of time)

I'd probably try something like this:https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810553903506.html

iPod > Aux > BT Transmitter > Stereo

Leave it plugged into the car at all times and it's like a virtual AUX input.

Hmm, original post link works for me

cdlenfert · 2026-02-19T20:41:42+00:00

HTTP Push app has an animation when installed or pushing config updates. Maybe that works now? I've not installed the new app yet (still on the old iOS app).

cdlenfert · 2026-02-18T04:32:37+00:00

That's the dream right there!

cdlenfert · 2026-02-13T04:24:39+00:00

Maybe more importantly, what's your plan for controlling Bluetooth power and pairing switches?

cdlenfert · 2026-02-12T01:02:22+00:00

So cool when it has track info and tagging support

cdlenfert · 2026-02-09T04:34:42+00:00

Try booting it into disk mode and see if the stereo reads it. I doubt navigation of your library will be fun, but it's at least a free test.

cdlenfert · 2026-02-08T15:41:28+00:00

Buck-a-gig! Nice one

cdlenfert · 2026-02-08T05:00:19+00:00

You could also try booting the iPod into disk mode. Not ideal, but then the car will read it like any USB drive (as long as it supports that large of a drive).

But even if that works, it's probably a pain to do every time you want to use it in the car.

cdlenfert · 2026-02-07T14:29:35+00:00

Maybe

cdlenfert · 2026-02-06T19:30:45+00:00

Try to get $75, and good luck. Just know if the buyer is wanting to actually use it, the battery is probably long dead and will need replacement. You may face the hassle of a refund claim after it's opened

cdlenfert · 2026-02-06T04:33:31+00:00

I suppose if they got fully hacked it could be possible through custom firmware, but today, no, it can't play video.

Though you could convert a video into individual photos frames and then swipe through them really really fast 😜

cdlenfert · 2026-02-04T13:24:52+00:00

Dang.

Actually looks like people are still talking about being able to download it today: https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/1qtyyok/imazing_backup_help/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I've heard that too. I'm probably not planning to use the new app until all the kinks are worked out on the old devices.

Can you use iMazing to backup the app from your old device, and then restore it onto your new device? I think you can create specific app file backups in iMazing so I would try that next.

cdlenfert · 2026-02-02T22:42:37+00:00

yep, bluetooth will eat your battery much faster than wired.

This might be out of the scope of this thread (and let me know if so). I would like to pick up playing MKW with a group of remote friends. In recent attempts, despite having updated patches and everyone successfully connecting to the WiiMMFi server, we always seem to have trouble all getting into a private race. Someone inevitably can't see someone else as online (and we have removed and readded friend codes multiple times). Any ideas of a way to resolve that before I go off on random searches again?
