My Bose SoundDock XT has an aux port, which states that you can plug in to listen on the speaker. I have an older iPod with the larger 30 pin end, which currently plugs into a iHome device. Will this device work to plug the iPod into the Bose sound dock? It appears that it will, but as you can tell, I am not very good with electronics.Thanks in advance for any comments.

Typing on my phone accidentally pressed answer... What you need is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm aux cable any brand or length will do I recommend at least 3ft but is does not matter. Plug the aux cable in the iPod headphone Jack and from there to the stereo

I'm not for positive but I don't think so, it won't work with our Bose Ihome I wudn't waste your money. Hope I was some help to you

No it will not the cable is designed to go from auxin out on the iPod to 30 pin in on the stereo. The cable only works if the stereo doesn't interface and just passes sound through. What you are trying to do is the opposite which is take sound out through the 30 pin in through aux. This wouldn't work anyway as the 30 pond on the cable and iPod is a female connection you would need a Aux to 30 pin male

i would not buy this ipod adapter to plug into a bose aux port, all you need is a male by male cord that plugs into ipad and into bose, very simple. sold in most convenience stores

Since I have been using it with iPhone, I think you can listen to an iPod. However, you need a power adepter, which is not supplied with the speakers. (The ordinary iPhone power adapter works well.) You just connect the usb cable to the adapter as the power source and use the audio cord supplied with the product to connect the speaker and your iPod. Hope it's helpful!

I've heard that the iphone is not compatible with this speaker dock, so I would also tend to believe that the same is true of the Ipod Touch since it is similar. Apparently, it causes buzzing or some other type of interference when docked. I am not 100% sure though about the Ipod Touch compatibility. Check with the manufacturer before you buy this speaker dock. That is the best advice I can offer you.

The dock stopped work really quickley my son has it and it only works with an aux cord! I wouldn't recommend it! I have a sony dock now I love and you can attach Bluetooth speakers. It cost about $90!

This speaker dock used the now-dated 30-pin connector. The newest iPods (all but the shuffle) have the new lightning connector. There is an adapter, but it would be awkward to use in a speaker dock.

My Bose SoundDock is the first series. It doesn't say "Series I". I believe only the Series II and III are identified that way. I purchased the Power Supply/Cord you are considering and it works on my SoundDock to provide power, charge the SoundDock battery, and charge any 30 pin Apple device (iPod, iPhone, etc.) which I attach to the SoundDock. I thought I had lost the original Power Supply (the square one that the cord wraps inside of) so I ordered this one as a replacement. I then found my original Power Supply and now I have two which I can use. Hope this helps.

If your Bose device does NOT support charging, then the Patuoxun device will not work. I have two devices that I tried it in, a speaker box that I use my ipod (series 5) in, that charges the ipod, but NOT my iphone 4. The Patuoxun bluetooth would not work in that device. I also have a Sony speaker system that I play at work, plays and charges my iphone 4, that the Patuoxun DID work in. However, with my iphone 5, the bluetooth would stop linking with my phone after about 5 or 10 minutes of play. I returned it, disappointed in its performance.

I tried to connect my iPod Classic 160GB via my KOKKIA i10s + aptX Tiny Bluetooth iPod Transmitter for iPod/iPhone/iPad/iTouch with true Apple authentication, delivers cleaner audio with reduced latency for aptX Bluetooth receivers to my Bose SoundLink portable Bluetooth speaker, but it would not connect after several tries. I went to the Bose SoundLink Mini page FAQ here: http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/bluetooth_speakers/soundlink_mini/index.jsp and it states: "What kind of audio sources can I use with the SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker?" "The speaker is designed specifically for use with today's most popular Bluetooth devices, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops. In addition, it includes an auxiliary input for a wired connection to an MP3 or similar portable player." The KOKKIA i10s + aptX is an add-on Bluetooth transmitter. If it were built-in, with different hardware, such as a tablet, computer, or headphones it would then connect. But instead, you will need to obtain a 3.5mm cable for your connection.

Yes, I have an older Model Bose Dock that would only charge my old ipod or ipod nano pre iphone 4 connector. My Iphone 4s would plug in but not charge. This adapter works great with that version of my dock without any issues. love this device.

No it will not. The device won't even work with devices that have an interface system. So anything that looks to the device for music information will not work. But a Bose sound dock would work fine

No, there is no AM/FM radio built in to the Bose SoundDock. It is strictly designed to work with an iDevice with the 30 pin connector or something plugged in to the 3.5mm jack in the back. An iPhone with internet access or iPod Touch with internet connectivity would help span that gap.

It's my understanding that it's a hardwire connection to the Bose Sound Dock I have. The Bose unit's only input is the multi pin I-pod female.

I know this is a common concern but I just got this speaker and it CAN charge an ipod touch 2nd generation...if you have the time to deal with it. I tried playing around with it and figured out that if you have the speaker turned on (with the ipod turned on (or in sleep mode) and inserted on the dock) and unplug and replug the speaker, it begins charging each time. The speaker MUST be turned on when you unplug it or else it doesn't work. The ipod doesn't have to be on the dock when its unplugged but it has to be on the dock once you plug it in for this to work. This is the only way I can get it to charge 100% of the time. Tedious but it works. Let me know if this helps. Good luck everyone!

We purchased a CableJive DockBoss which is an adaptor plug and our iPhone5 works great with the Bose SoundDock. Available via Amazon~

If you use a link cable from the speaker of the IPOD to the Speaker Dock, and insert it into the port of the docking station on the back, then push the input button on the Speaker Dock, that should work. (It is the same cable/wire you use to connect your IPOD to a car's stereo system.) There is a port on the docking station that allows you to hook up other devices to the docking station and use its' speakers. Otherwise, I don't know.

you actually can use speakers for it. i have this, so i'd know. heres an awesome speaker with good bass:iHome iHM60 Rechargeable Mini Speakers for iPod (Blue) u can use docking stations, too, but youd have to reasearch some. you cant use the same plug as 4 the ipod nano, though. hope i answered your questions.-ipodloverofanykind
