Hey all, I'm new here and clueless so if I'm posting this wrong I apologize.
My family has been using a harmon kardon invoke, a cortana powered smart speaker from Microsoft. It was great but unfortunately Microsoft is pulling the plug, issuing an update to disable all smart features and limiting it to Bluetooth only. The sound quality with bluetooth is a huge step down from spotify connect so I would like to add a 3.5mm jack for line in in order to directly play music or attach a spotify connect device.
I have only found one teardown (thanks Chris B from youtube) and in the video there are three empty headers on the main board (image attatched)
Is this project even possible? Would it be extremely difficult? Any pointers or similar projects I could follow?
Thank you!

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
. What do you all think about simply hooking up wires from a aux cord while playing music and trying various configurations on these headers?Is this project even possible? Would it be extremely difficult? Any pointers or similar projects I could follow?
Thank you!
Probably can be done, but use a series coupling capacitor to block any DC inside.
Try to get a schematic.

Hmm I looked for a schematic but its listed as "permanently confidential" on the FCC website. Any other ways to obtain one that people know of?
