Installing LED Lights in the Speaker Grille of an Uber Phone

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 be done to the other side as well. It's kind of hard to demonstrate this when I'm trying to show it but you want to make sure that the LEDs line up with the speaker grilles, there's one LED per speaker grille for maximum effect. Here, you really want to commit to this LED stuff and 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, 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. 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 eighty percent 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 past 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's 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'm glad that was my experience with this mod, I hope you guys enjoyed the video and stay tuned for more videos down the road peace

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: encheck 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

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
