Xiaomi Speaker Mod Service
Own a China-market Xiaomi AI speaker (OH2P / LX06) that barely works abroad? I mod it remotely: your XiaoAi stays, and a second AI voice is added for real-time, continuous conversation.
What you get
- Remote installation — no need to ship your speaker
- XiaoAi remains available for its usual functions
- A second AI voice for natural, back-and-forth conversation
- Installer package + step-by-step guide + one remote assist session
How it works
- You pay via PayPal and email me your speaker model
- I send the installer package and guide by email
- We do a remote session and get it running on your speaker
The second AI runs on Gemini Live — you bring your own API key, so usage costs stay between you and Google under their current pricing.
Supported models: OH2P, LX06. Other models — ask first, I'll tell you honestly if it works.

Everything is digital and remote — nothing to ship, no waiting for parcels.

lukchong1987@gmail.comAbout
One person, one obsession
Hi, I'm Chong. I run LibreVox solo.
I'm not a big company and I won't pretend to be one. What I am is someone who spent far too many nights figuring out how to make China-market smart speakers actually work abroad — and then packaged everything I learned into installer tools, so people who want to tinker but don't have the technical background don't have to suffer through it alone.
I do the physical testing and keep making the process simpler. An AI assistant helps me with the heavy technical lifting. Every order is handled by me personally — when you email, you get me.
LibreVox exists for one reason: voice hardware you truly own — not rented from a vendor, not bricked by a region lock.
Good questions
FAQ
What exactly does the mod do?
It adds a second brain to your speaker: a real-time AI voice assistant on top of your existing XiaoAi. Wake it once and keep talking, interrupt it mid-sentence, have a natural back-and-forth instead of rigid one-shot Q&A. Your speaker, your hardware — just a software upgrade.
Which models are supported?
Mainly the Xiaomi Smart Speaker Pro (LX06) and the Xiaomi Smart Speaker OH2P. Not sure about yours? Send a photo of the label on the bottom of the speaker and I'll check.
Will I lose my original XiaoAi?
No — it's a dual system. Your XiaoAi stays fully intact; the second AI voice is added alongside it. Nothing is removed.
Do I need to ship my speaker to you?
No. The whole mod is done remotely — you keep your speaker at home the entire time.
How do I pay, and how do I receive it?
US$20 per speaker, one-time, via PayPal to lukchong1987@gmail.com. Once payment is confirmed, I send you your personal download (installer package) and setup guide. Each order gets its own order number — please don't share your download.
What does the second AI cost to run?
It runs on Gemini Live with an API key you provide. Usage is billed by Google to your key under their current pricing — I don't take a cut of that.
Can I change the wake word or its personality?
Yes. A companion web page lets you set the name it answers to and describe its personality in a sentence — it applies on the next connection.
How natural is the conversation, really?
Natural voice with emotion and intonation, not robotic. Wake it once and keep talking — no need to repeat the wake word every sentence — and you can interrupt it any time, just like talking to a person.
Will the mod restore QQ Music or other mainland-only music abroad?
No — and I'd rather tell you straight. Music catalogs are controlled by regional licensing, and no software mod can bring back a catalog that licensing blocks. The mod adds a second AI voice; it doesn't change music rights.
Is it always listening?
No. It idles until you say the wake word, and goes back to standby when you're done. It's not recording around the clock.
What computer do I need for the installation?
A computer — a phone won't work. Windows 10/11 64-bit and Mac are both supported. Installation takes about ten minutes following the guide.
What if the installation fails?
First try running the installer as administrator. Antivirus warnings are false positives — whitelist the installer and continue. If it still fails, send me a screenshot of the error and I'll troubleshoot with you.
Is my speaker at risk of being bricked?
Any firmware-level change carries some risk, and I won't claim otherwise. Your original system is backed up before the upgrade so it can be rolled back, and I'm with you step by step if anything looks off.
Will future updates require shipping it back?
No. When a new version is out, your speaker updates itself over the network — nothing to ship, nothing to reinstall.
Can I use the personal license to mod speakers and resell them?
No — the personal license is for your own speakers. If you want to mod in volume commercially, that's what the volume authorization tier is for. Contact me and we'll work it out.
When will the LibreVox AI speaker be available, and how much?
It's in development — I'm not announcing a date or a price until it's real. Join the waitlist above and you'll hear about it first.
