Is This The Best iPod Classic Mod Ever?

I modded an iPod Classic with USB-C, Bluetooth, wireless charging, flash storage, and open-source firmware — for about $200. Here's how it actually went. This is a Classic Connect 2 build using the Moonlit Market kit. The build covers hardware installation, faceplate swap, the Rockbox firmware install, and everything that went wrong along the way — including the 128GB storage limit on the 6th gen and a modder named Olsro who figured out how to bypass it.
