This bluetooth adapter . Since this link will probably be dead relatively soon it might pose a problem for those of you trying to do this mod; the item is listed as a generic bluetooth adapter but in the manual it is revealed to be the BTAV101 manufactured by Flaircomm.
A few lengths of thin wire. I harvested my wires from an old parallel cable.
So, let's get on with it.
UPDATE:- After getting it all together and trying it out it turns out that the mini's case doesn't allow the transmitter to work nearly as far as it normally would. Extending the antenna out of the case doesn't help. It works up to about 6 feet when out of my pocket but it starts getting choppy while in my right pocket. Not sure what's causing the interference in my pocket, but the problem disappears while in my left pocket.
Step 1Breaking it down
So this is pretty straightforward. We need to get everything down bare so we can work with it. For the 2G iPod Mini the tear down is relatively easy. The guys over at ifixit.com have a great guide on how to get it down to where we need it. As for the bluetooth dongle, all we need to do is slide a flathead into the crack between the two halves and GENTLY pry it open. We dont want to stab right through it and risk damaging any of the internals. Unfortunately I'm writing this post teardown so I don't have any pictures but it's dead easy. The usb port on the adapter is too big to fit into the iPod and needs to be removed, I removed it by gently prying it off with a pair of pliers.
Ministry of Communications has launched a drive to recover outstanding dues on landlines . If dues are outstanding you risk of landline disconnection. Already pre-recorded messages are being played to subscribers nearly daily, if your bill payment is outstanding. Now there are 2 ways to do this..long way and short way. Long way means you go to you local telephone exchange and pay the dues which means skipping work for most of us. Or you can check your balances online and pay them via your bank’s online services. I bank with NBK and this facility is available in their online offerings. Anyways here is the drill for checking and paying your landline bills online: 1. Visit the MOC website and login 2. You will need your landline number [use the new number with 2] and civil id number that was used for registering the telephone line 3. Check your balance 4. Login to your banks website and pay your bills
