Convert Old CD Player into a Powerful Stereo Speaker with 5V Audio Bluetooth Kit, FM, USB, AUX
Do you have an old CD player gathering dust at home? Don’t throw it away just yet! With a simple 5V Audio Bluetooth Kit, you can transform it into a powerful stereo speaker that supports Bluetooth, FM Radio, USB, and AUX. This fun DIY project not only gives your old gadget a second life but also saves you money compared to buying a new speaker.
Why Reuse an Old CD Player?
Older CD players often have high-quality speakers and sturdy enclosures. Even if the CD mechanism is broken, the speaker units and the cabinet can still deliver amazing sound. All they need is a modern input system to bring them back to life — and that’s exactly what a 5V Bluetooth Audio Kit provides.
What You’ll Need
-
An old CD player (with working speakers)
-
5V Audio Bluetooth Kit (with FM, USB, and AUX features)
-
Small screwdriver set
-
Soldering iron and solder
-
Some jumper wires
-
Double-sided tape or screws for mounting the kit
Step-by-Step Conversion
1. Open the CD Player
Carefully unscrew the CD player casing. Identify the speaker wires and the audio input points on the internal amplifier board.
2. Remove or Bypass the CD Mechanism
If the CD reader is broken, remove it to make space for the Bluetooth kit. If you want to keep the CD function, you can still add the kit without removing the mechanism—just connect the new audio source in parallel with the original input.
3. Install the 5V Bluetooth Audio Kit
Mount the Bluetooth kit panel where it’s easily accessible—like the front panel of the CD player. Use screws or double-sided tape to secure it.
4. Connect Power Supply
The Bluetooth kit works on 5V, so you can use the CD player’s internal power circuit (if it has a 5V output) or use a separate mobile charger adapter.
5. Connect Audio Output
Find the AUX or audio input pins on the CD player’s amplifier board. Connect the audio output from the Bluetooth kit to these pins. Make sure the left and right channels are correctly wired.
6. Test the Setup
Before closing the casing, plug in the power and test all features — Bluetooth streaming, FM radio reception, USB playback, and AUX input. Adjust volume and check for sound quality.
7. Reassemble and Enjoy
Once everything works perfectly, close the casing and enjoy your newly upgraded stereo speaker with all modern features!
