Remove screws from the bottom of the toy.

Remove bottom of toy.

OPTIONAL: Adding batteries to the toy before starting to allow for easy testing throughout the adaption process.

Cut the end of the cable. (We will be using the female end for this adaption).

Strip the cable so that the wires from both the red and white cables are showing.

Add solder to the ends of both red and white cables.

Melt or drill hole into the side of the toy.

Thread cable through the hole in the toy. Either tie or zip tie the cable inside the toy so that the cable cannot be pulled out.
