Making the (almost) Ultimate iPod

This video documents myself modding an iPod Classic 5.5 with upgraded storage, battery, bluetooth and USB-C charging, and a haptic motor.
This was my first time doing this, so this video is NOT intended as a guide. Nonetheless, here are some of the products I used, as well as the most useful resources I came across while working on this.

it’s been 4 years im still in deep hole of ipod classic restoration videos, great video thanks

This is a helpful video. I was contemplating soldering for syncing...but I can live with digging out the 30 pin connector to sync music now and then.

I recently modded mine with the moonlit market Mod as well. I even picked the same color scheme you did! I was way too intimidated to try the usbc data mod as well. Not seeing any videos online really discouraged me. I was also planning on doing the wireless charging/ MagSafe mod but seeing you try was more than enough for me to hold off on that as well. Awesome video! Glad I watched

I wanted to mod my switch oled. And also found out that electronics are a lot smaller irl.
I feel your pain

Thank you for making this video, the Classic Connect seems to be a bit too good to be true or at least it promises too much. I think making it so "thin" was a missed oportunity, but at the same time I am glad it exists and people are still modding iPods. I want al the functionality so much but soldering seems like a big risk and I guess I will pass on the Classic Connect for now, it is out of stock at the time, anyway.
Thanks for making this video!

Nice video, keep tinkering!

Thanks. I was thinking to getting this and doing USB C sync soldering. I still might get one but will not do the sync soldering. I don’t want to brick my iPod.
Once I since my whole library once I won’t sync much anyway. So usb c charging and Bluetooth is all I would really need. It is an easy way to add those features without modifying an original iPod back.

Thanks for insight. Great effort - I’m getting ready to try to upgrade and modernize my iPod as well. Thinking I’ll have to decide between either Bluetooth or Taptic Engine (not going the moonlit route) but appreciate the heads up on the soldering advice.

Can you please make a video, on how to load movies and tv shows on iPod and how to format movies amd tv shows to fit into the iPod?
Great video, BTW!

The Diggin The Greats guy kept bashing the algorythm, so the algorythm decided to put this in my feed to prove him wrong.
He's still right, though. 😅

[@user-jj4px4hp8h]

Can you one day do a ipod classic 7

[@cavmotcreations]

I would love to, it's just a matter of money lol

[@bangoash]

I would not get it because it's plastic.

[@winsucker7755]
