Glowing Speaker iPhone Mod! See Your Music in RGB! #Helpful Post

check this out guys I even ever seen

something like this on an iPhone here we

go in three two one boom disco in your

hands how cool is that what's up guys

everything out GoPro here you guys know

on this channel I do iphone mods every

once in a while personally my favorite

being the glowing Apple logo mod on that

jet-black iPhone 7 plus I'm working on

that in the new iPhone 10 and I've got

the clear glass back mod done but in

this video I wanted to show you a new

generation of a mod never completed

before on an iPhone it's hitting the

streets in China the latest trend can

you guess what it is

so people have replaced these shells of

their phones they've even done glowing

Apple logos you know what else is there

left to do

there's the red iPhone with the black

display that looks pretty cool but in

terms of like tech geekiness what else

is there to do let me show you the new

generation of mods check this out guys

so the speaker glowing speaker mod and

check this out boom you got a visual

synchronizer visualizer for music that

is pretty cool I guess

completely unnecessary but cool let me

turn the lights out real quick and there

is that surprisingly very very bright

let me turn the lights out completely I

check this out guys so the louder it

gets the brighter it starts working it's

kind of interesting how it works and

I'll show you guys that in just a second

but you know what do you guys think is

that is that kind of cool unnecessary

it gets pretty bright almost like a

flashlight so if you want to be spotted

at night this is another way to do it

alongside be going out the logo so

pretty neat I'd say it's cool that it

syncs with the music and obviously turns

off when that's not playing it only

works when there's power to the speaker

so I'm sure you guys this on an iPhone

6s but you can do it on a seven seven

plus you know pretty much any device and

I've got this spare iphone from my black

mod I replaced the screen it's kind of

seen better days that's for sure but I'm

going to go ahead and do this mod on it

show you guys how it's done on an iPhone

7 plus if you guys want to do it it is

actually unbelievably easy to install

this whether or not you want to

you know that's that's your choice but

it is kind of neat you know something

different I guess and we may not share

that opinion but I thought it was pretty

interesting the LEDs are super super

bright that's kind of cool so uh yeah

let's go ahead and unbox the actual unit

I'll show you how it works what it looks

like and I'm gonna show you guys how to

install it on an iPhone 7 plus all right

and here is the actual box so believe it

or not I actually had a trial and error

with this where it didn't work the first

time I I rushed it kind of broke the

connectors the actual cost of one of

these is like five dollars so they are

super cheap all right so this is what it

looks like it's basically a flex cable

with LEDs on the bottom that go into the

speaker ports and on the iPhone 7 plus

there's a separating cable here and

there is that so just so you guys can

see this goes underneath this speaker so

it uses the same terminal as the speaker

to power it that means there's no

soldering involved it's a very simple

installation and it uses the speaker

power so when you're not using the

speaker this takes zero extra energy and

even when it is activated it doesn't

take that much energy it's literally

just a few LEDs so not a big deal but

we're gonna go ahead and open up the

seven plus and install it for other

devices it's gonna look like this so

just very very simple one little flex

cable I install it on my six as within

five minutes believe it or not a very

proficient at it but if you guys do it

on a newer device like at seven plus you

want to get a waterproof seal so you can

reinstall that and keep the water

resistance I'm not too worried about

that because mine's already busted up

but let's go ahead and take it apart all

right proper tools make this much easier

so we're gonna take the pentalobe screws

and remove the bottom oh and of course

do turn your phone off before attempting

this that is priority here using this

little pry tool we're gonna pry the

screen up separate it and remove it from

the housing on a seven seven plus

remember it does open up to the right so

that way you don't accidentally tear any

cables gonna be very careful I've

rip the screen off in a fit of rage

before I cannot rage just without

patience I opened it up what you want to

do it very gently there's usually a seal

that's kind of holding it back up there

and open it up to the side so the thing

is you don't even need to remove

anything really all you need to do is

get at the speaker so using Philips

screw or the bits we're gonna go ahead

and remove all of them associated with

the speaker so that means this one right

here right here right here right here

and right here actually there's only

four one two three four so just go ahead

and remove those real quick and remember

their positions as they are different

lengths all right so I got that out go

ahead and pry the speaker out all right

and outs that goes so you don't have to

actually unplug that's a little bit just

gonna go right here there's one more

thing you need to unscrew and I would be

this little plastic piece here so we're

gonna go ahead I'm gonna screw these two

little bolts and this little plastic

piece needs to come out so I'm just

gonna look just like that so next up you

guys actually want to remove these

little plastic pieces on the bottom it's

for the microphone and the speaker

grille that's what that looks like you

literally just pry them out do it gently

and beneath this is where we're gonna go

ahead and put the actual LEDs and they

are on seals so they take a little bit

of wiggling to come out you want to make

sure not to rip the little microphone

cable that goes on its butt that comes

out just like that okay and do the same

for the other side so we're gonna wiggle

this one out here over just broke that

whoops don't do that don't be mean okay

and out that comes just like that

alright so what you're gonna do now is

go ahead and remove the LEDs from the

package and this process pretty simple

but you still want to be very delicate

take your time these wires are very thin

separating the two LEDs so I would be

very careful with them but basically

what we're gonna do is we're going to

nestle the LEDs perfectly into the slot

it's gonna be kind of hard to show but

we want to pop them down in there and

they'll fit nice and snug once they get

into the speaker holes and you're going

to plug this connector in right here and

tape it down with the little tape strips

they give you in the pack

you want to make sure it's very snug

sitting exactly on the connectors as

that's the power source right there and

do the same to the other side so I'm

gonna do this real quick it does take

some attention and I'll show you the

finished result all right so I just did

the left side basically you pop the LEDs

end and nestled the plastic back on top

of it seal the waterproofing seal and

you want to go ahead and do the same to

the other side so this needs to do

nestled into the speaker grille it's

kind of hard to do this when I'm trying

to demonstrate it but you want to make

sure that the LEDs line up with the

speaker grilles us there's one LED per

speaker grille for maximum effect here

you mean you really want to commit to

this LED stuff want it to look good so

there we go

position them in there and now we just

go ahead and tape down the connector

with the little provided strips so it

sits evenly on there all right and here

is the finished results so basically I

didn't use the strip's I decided to go

with the little piece of scotch tape on

it and it basically sits taped down LEDs

in there these wires were going to leave

on top basically go ahead and reinstall

the speaker but before you screw it in

we want to make sure that everything is

working all right

that pops back into place so now go

ahead and power it on and we're gonna

test the music app already guys ready to

go so let's test it out remember the

louder it is the better

look at that so we got them all working

we know it's good so let's go ahead and

seal it up and basically pop the top in

the bottom and again want to make sure

it's working it's a little finicky just

takes a little playing around till you

get the connections there all right boys

let's go ahead and turn something a

little booming on here so you guys can

see the flashing and of course it looks

better when the lights are dark so let

me turn them out the more banging the

music the more you're really gonna hear

it look at that that's pretty dang cool

it is super bright I should like you'd

be surprised

now you turn it down and past a certain

volume they just don't work because it

doesn't get enough voltage and it works

off of a certain amount so you literally

have to be at eighty percent or more for

it to start working it's kind of weird

so that's kind of cool at least so you

don't have to have it on always it only

works when you really really turn it up

so that way the music is bang in the

lights are on you know I got a full

disco here it's pretty cool though it

really does illuminate the ground check

that out so honestly I like this mod a

lot more now that I've actually

installed it so easy it was to do that

and use it I mean for an uber phone yeah

I kind of be worried about opening my

phone up a thing that is pretty cool

pretty neat I'm liking the fact that it

only works at 80% or more now it's not

limited to just music but it so it's

gonna work much better in music let me

play youtube video real quick by the way

it's not limited to just music check

this out

so with ringtones it'll work as well go

flash with your ringtones that's kind of

interesting

so you can literally just have your

phone sitting on a desk receive a call

will something a little bit more there

we go and it's gonna go off with it so I

thought that's pretty cool nice little

side effect of that one and it syncs

very very well because it's down and

wired to it so it's gonna accurately

portray you know the visualizer for that

sound alright so videos have been

interesting it does flash and I could

see this getting annoying during video

when you don't want it again you take it

down a couple notches and it basically

stops turning on so about here kind of

like a little bit it's loud yeah it's

gonna work does Kim it does give your

hand this really interesting

illumination but there it is guys so I

just thought that was an interesting mod

something a little different but if you

guys wanted it you can definitely

install it for five dollars if you do

the work yourself it's cool with music

and I like that it works only passed a

certain threshold so it has to be pretty

loud for you to hear it yeah that is

cool I like it so I would say I approve

only if you don't care about your

warranty and you want to look you want

to bring attention to your phone because

this certainly will and much more than

an Apple logo would it's still pretty

cool

all right guys just want to say thanks

for watching that is how to do it if you

wanted to much cooler than I thought

once again just a really nice result I

didn't think I'd like I thought it'd be

kind of unnecessary and it still is but

it looks a lot more legitimate than I

thought I would anyways thanks for

watching guys there it is hope you guys

enjoyed the video and stay tuned for

more videos down the road peace
