Step 4Modify the Bluetooth Adapter
Remove the two Torx screws from the Jabra unit and use a small screwdriver to crack open the case.
Carefully remove the battery from the back of the case and/or simply remove the two wires at the circuit board. We won't be needing the battery anymore since we'll be tapping into the iPod's battery!
Using your soldering iron, remove the three wires of the input cable.
If you're keeping your hard drive, you may need to remove the USB connector from the Bluetooth circuit board to give yourself a bit more room. The connector is only used for charging the unit so you won't be needing that either. Using the flash card I I had plenty of room so I kept it.
At this point you may or may not decide to keep the original pushbutton switch. I am sure you can replace it with a bigger separate switch, but I wanted to keep my iPod looking stock. Maybe I'll add a switch if I can find one that is small enough to put on top of the unit.
