Does Bose Sound dock work with iPhone?

I have a lovely bose dock that I currently hook my iPod up to.
Anyone know I can use the iPhone with it?

Hi Jmalese:
You'll have to gauge the reliability of the following for yourself, but it would appear that there's some evidence that the iPhone and the Bose Dock will work together, providing you put the iPhone in Airplane Mode.

  • Why doesn't my Bose Sound Dock work with my iPod Touch?

    I have a Bose Sound Dock, purchased about 2006 or 7.  It worked fine with the 5th gen iPod Classic, but will not work with the iPod Touch.  Does anyone know why?
    Thanks!

    Very likely because it does not comunicate with iOS devices.  The "dumb" iPods do not use iOS but a very simple OS instead. The first iPod Touch came out in Sept 2007.

  • Does iPad Keyboard Dock Work With iPhone?

    Does the new iPad Keyboard Dock work with the iPhone? If you put an iPhone 3GS into it, will you be able to use the physical keyboard to type on the iPhone's screen?

    I have an iPad keyboard dock that I used with the orignal iPad.  Tonight I found it in a dusty closet and wondered if it would work with my iphone 4s.  Plugged it which wasn't particularly easy but when I got the angle right, it worked as I was able to start a message in Notes.  But it did pop up a message after exiting Notes that this device is not compatible with the iphone or something to that effect.  I did not have the dock connected to a power supply so I don't know if it will permit typing and charging.  But it will allow you to type on the iPhone 4s at least in Notes:) 

  • Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

    I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

    The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either.  I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update.  Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told.  Thank you for posting.  I know now that I am not the only one.  Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8.  I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6.  I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

  • Does ipad 2 dock work with the new ipad

    anyone know if the IPad 2 dock works with the new IPad?

    Apple's cable with a 30-pin connector on one end & USB connector on the other end works on all iPad models, iPhones & iPods.

    okay thanks! I guess it's because 3G does not support flash!

  • Why does my sound only work with my head phones?

    I recently discovered that my iPhone 4s has not been functioning the way it should be. My sound and speaker are not working. I can't even adjust my volume unless I have my headphones. I can't hear my incoming calls and they can't hear me. This happens every so often and its been happening for the past two days. Is there anyway of fixing it? My phone is no longer under Apple's warranty. Please help.

    Try inserting and re-inserting your headphones 7 or 8 times. Also try cleaning out the headphone jack in case of debris that might be interfering with the connection/disconnection.

  • Does bmw office (2014) work with iphone(os 6)

    I have a BMW X335 with the office package and can't connect/activare text, mail, agenda with my iphone 4s 6os

    The dealer needs to know what profiles the vehicle uses for these options to work. If the iPhone does not support the profiles the vehicle uses to do these tasks, then you are are out of luck there. The dealer should be able to provide information on the profiles, and I have provided you with the profiles the phone supports.

  • Bose sound dock series 1/iphone 6 converter

    I have a bose sounddock series 1, which converter should I use to connect to an Iphone 6?

    The Apple 30 pin to lightning available at all good Apple retail stores or ionline
    HOWEVER if you have the very first Bose Sounddock available before iPhones were available you will also need an adapter to convert the change of 30 pin configuration which Apple made when the dropped fire wire
    identify which Bose dock you have and it's year and I will find links if required
    this may also help

  • Bose Sound Docks are no longer compatible with Apple iPhones or iPods?

    When plugging my iPhone 4S or 5, or my iPod 3rd Gen or 7th Gen into my Bose Sound Dock, I recieve a message that reads, "This iPhone/iPod is not compatible with this accessory" and will not play stored music.
    Background Info: 
         - The Bose Sound Dock was designed to support Apple products.
         - All software/OS on the Apple products is current as of Dec 2013.
         - The Bose product doesn't have update-able software associated with it.
         - Clearly, something has changed with the Apple products.
    What can be done to fix this so that iPhones and iPods will play again on Bose products?
    I've unplugged/replugged the Bose Sound Dock, and I've powered down and powered up the Apple products expecting that something would reset, but these steps have proved to be ineffective and nothing has changed.

    Ok, I was having the same issue which is why I came across this post (in search of an answer). I MAY have figured it out...I have an iPod, don't-remember-what generation, and it has always worked with my Bose sound dock portable speaker, approx 2-3 years. Anyway, a few months ago, the Bose stopped picking up that I "docked" my iPod onto it. A long while has gone by and we haven't done anything about it bc our speaker was out of warranty and didn't want to spend the $100 it costs to repair (thru Bose, don't know about other places $, but I've learned the hard way to stick to manufacturer for high-end brand device repair). Long story short, we really missed using our speaker outside and I decided to send it in instead of buying a new one (new one-year warranty comes with the repair, so I figured it was $100 cheaper than buying a new one). An added note, we tried putting my husbands iPhone 4S on the dock and it didn't read it, either; the Bose didn't charge either device, didn't acknowledge in anyway that a device was on the dock attachment piece. Back to present day... I got my speaker back from Bose, and I was so happy to try it out. I put my iPod on the attachment, and voila! It charged the iPod (so clearly it registered that a device was attached), but DID NOT PLAY MUSIC....Exact same message about incompatibility. So, when my husband got home, we tried his phone (this is last week, literally, and I was mad thinking it was the recent apple software update and that I just threw away $100). Guess what? His phone worked! Pandora, his music, you name it. When I called Bose and suggested it could be a software update issue? They replied it wasn't, that the sound dock works with the devices after update, but the piece was still bad, as it was not working correctly if it was not playing the iPod, regardless of the new update, and/or what generation it was. So my thoughts are that it is the attachment where you sit your device on the Bose that has gone faulty. I packaged up my speaker and it's going backs to Bose at their expense to repair. It stinks that I won't have it for Christmas to play music as we enjoy the outdoors, but at this point, I will just be content if they get it to work again!

  • IPhone 5 doesn't work with Bose sound dock using the 30-pin adapter.

    I just upgraded to iPhone 5.  To my huge disappointment, I can not use it with my Bose sound dock using the 30-pin adapter. That is just ridiculous, after spending so much money!!! I tried using another cable and it works but sound is of poor quality

    I have the SoundDock 10 and generally use the Bluetooth connection.
    I have just reinserted the 30 pin normal socket ( as in normal SoundDock)
    the Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter and with iPhone 5 have perfect
    sound
    It works so something in your set up is faulty possibly the adapter
    some have posted issues

  • 4.3 not compatible with Bose sound dock

    I updated iPhone 3GS to 4.2 then 4.3 last week and I now get an error about incompatible product when I plug it in to my new Bose sound dock 10 (and I get no sound).before the updates it worked fine. My wife has the same phone still running 4.0.1 and hers still works fine. Any suggestions?
    Perhaps apple would like to refund my $1000 spent on the sound dock

    I am not sure about the certification you are talking about (will check) spoke to both apple phone support and BOSE support. Neither had heard about it or come across it. Apple suggested to contact BOSE and see if there was an update (which can't be done) - Spoke to BOSE and at least they were going to get someone who had an Iphone 3gs to update theirs and do a test. I did visit the apple reseller where I purchased the sound dock and they were no help stating they had no way of logging anything with apple. tried the iphone in another sound dock 10 which did exactly the same thing.

  • Problem with bose sound dock 2 series and iOS 5.1.1

    Hi everyone i just bought a bose sound dock 2 series,is made for iphone 4 and 4s but with ios 5.1.1. but doesnt work..how could be possible?Dock is ok but i cant hear the music from my iphone 4!!I spent 400 euro!!!
    Please help me!!!
    Thanks in advance

    From what I have read on this discussion boards so far, it sounds as though Bose was using the 12v firewire charging circuit on there Sound Dock and not the recommended 5v charging circuit that Apple told all of its licensed accessory manufactures to start using,when Apple changed the syncing of iPods from firewire to USB2, a few years ago.
    The firmware update has now enforced charging via the 5v circuit and those manufactures that ignored Apple specifications, are now faced with end users, asking those manufactures for a fix, (not Apple.) This has been a well known road map between the accessory manufactures and Apple, for at least 3 to 4 years now.
    Here's the funny part, even apples own HiFi system breaks there own rules and doesn't charge, you would think they would follow there own guidelines, wouldn't you?

  • Updated iPhone no longer plays on bose sound dock 10, or car adapter

    I phone 4s used to work fine on Bose sound dock 10, and connector in Lexus LS 460, 2008.  Both devices stopped connecting after recent upgrade.

    Thanks for the replies - yes, we are going to try resetting the Alpine unit and if this doesn't do it, wait for the next iPhone software update due in the next few days which I'm really hoping will rectify it. Will post again when there is any result.
    It is very strange though, it worked fine even after updating to iOS4 months ago, and has only stopped working and displays "Error 01" in the last couple of weeks. I can still make and receive hands free calls via Bluetooth, just can't play music.
