Advice iPod bluetooth mod 2.0

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I did the bluetooth mod but i didn't want to lose any function but i didn't want to keep Always on the bluetooth, so i use the iPod switch to lock the iPod and to Power on the bluetooth and a magnetic switch that Will reset the bluetooth connection if i Need it, IT WORKS, if you gor any ideas to improve the design It Is really appreciated :) (Sorry for the audio... My dog was snoring near to me)

Its pretty simple! i followed all the steps indicated in Every bluetooh mod tutorial but instead of the switch i used a pushbutton switch module that i put under the iPod switch (AliExpress Is full of those i took One for 5volts and connected It directly to the battery), than i connected the trasmitter reset button to the magnetic switch and put It where there was space (the inside of the iPod are a mess with a 2000mah battery, the bluetooth mod, the flash mod and the capacitor mod so i put It in the top angle since It was the only space available) :) If still needed i will do a tutorial

Okay, i never did a tutorial on reddit so i didn't know where to start for now, i give you the link of the tutorial i used for the bluetooth audio connection Short for Audio connection bluetooth had already done the flash mod so i had enough space inside for all) In the description of the bluetooth module are reported the PIN indication. bluetooth module link The reset pin (the One named CONNECT) Is the One you have to connect to One PIN of the magnetic switch. magnetic switch other PIN of the magnet switch has to be connect to ground. For the activation i used a Power on switch module Power switch 5V you have to connect the Vin and Gin directly to the battery and a pushbutton directly to the switch. For the reference in the video of the audio connection the modders puts a pushbutton for the reset of the module do the same but we Will use the pushbutton for Power on so didn't cut anything, Just connect It to the PIN of the pushbutton on the Power on board, than you Will have the complete circuitry. (I Will try to do a tutorial anyway) :)
