bluetooth my boom-box
when we built our home in West Lake Hills, I made a portable stereo box to use with my ipod (predates iphone) as a portable stereo to use during construction. I based it on a high end (altec lansing) multi media speaker with a big/heavy sub and two sattelite speakers, it had remote control and I even put some lighting in it. it all closed up for easy transport.
I recently found the mini-stereo plug was shorting out. I was going to have to take it apart to replace the cord. and the old 30-pin ipod connector was no longer compatible with the lightning cable of the latest generation of iphone/ipad. so I upgraded my box to bluetooth!
old 30 pin dock
new blutooth stereo adapter.
there is the box, the blutooth works well. the only problem is, I used to know exactly where my phone was, at the end of the wire. now I know it's near, but because it's wireless I'm not always sure exactly where.
