where does the ground for the audio go to on the ipod? and where do the ground and power go to on the ipod that were on the top right of the bluetooth mb?

I second this request. This guide is useless because it leaves out these 2 critical steps. They show you disassembly, reassembly, but leave out where you actually solder the bluetooth power and audio wires. PLEASE FIX THIS GUIDE. IT IS USELESS IN IT'S CURRENT STATE!!

No need for insults, this instructable is not useless, tons of people have successfully modded their ipods with this guide. 

As for the power & ground, it was left out on purpose.  If you can't figure out where to solder these two then you probably shouldn't be doing it...

how much are the clear front panels and where do you buy them?

For a 5th gen video they're only 10 bucks with a tool kit and everything else you need.

just be warned, if you live outside of the us, they only ship international priority so you'll end up spending 30 bucks on shipping.
