If you haven't already done so, solder the three signal wires coming from the headphone jack to the circuit board. You did remember to make a note of which wires were which right?

Take another two 4" wires and solder them to the battery input terminals of the Jabra board. It turns out that the voltage of the Jabra battery is almost identical to the voltage output of the iPod battery so we simply need to jack into the iPod board for power. Although I would later like to wire into a switched-power location (probably from the HD adapter), I probed and found that the two empty pads next to the battery connector would work fine (labeled C22). I don't know what part of the circuit this is but I decided to take a risk and wire into it anyway since I figured the current draw from the Bluetooth adapter is not that great. It worked just fine.
