Iphone 3G and Bose Sounddock

Just about to purchase an iphone 3G and have a question about if the Bose Sounddock (the original one) will still work? Has anybody tried this?

Thanks for that info, I asked Bose which basically confirmed what you said, copied below as this might be useful info for current users,
<Thank you for your recent e-mail to BOSE®.
Apple have changed the layout of the charging pin on the iPhone 3G dock
connector (compared to the original iPhone) so that it now uses a different pickup pin for charging.
The original SoundDock® digital music system, will play music and allow remote control of the iPhone 3G, but currently will not charge the iPhone 3G.
Bose plan to develop a modification for the SoundDock®, to be carried out via service / repair centres that will allow the SoundDock® "classic" to charge the 3G iPhone.
This modification should become available by the end of the year and will be carried out through the standard repair service - I recommend contacting us later this year for further information.>

  • Can Iphone 4S and Bose Sounddock II get married again?!

    My Iphone 4s can no longer play music on my great Bose Sounddock II.

  • IPhone 3G and Bose Sounddock Portable

    Does anyone know if this will work?
    I do know, that the "old" Bose Sounddock does not work with the 3G, but what happens to the Portable? Please anyone can confirm?
    Best regards,
    Martin

    Hi Jeffrey,
    the Bose SoundDock Portable is going to charge the iPhone 3G, although it is making this horrible, clucking and popping sound every five minutes or so. But until the charging of the iPhone is completed the popping sounds are gone.
    @ all
    I took my SoundDock Portable back to the Apple Store today and got a B&W Zeppelin instead,.... oh Boy what a difference! For shure its a LOT more money,.... but this beauty is worth every of my hard earned pennies! Not only does it work like a charm with all iPods i do own its also is an ideal companion to the iPhone 3G - it even shows up the "Speaker Settings" Menu in the "General Settings" Menue,... i really did not expect that. Don´t get me wrong i liked the Bose Portable a lot, but i did not want to rely on Apple or Bose to wait for a doubtful upgrade to either unit, be it the Bose or the iPhone. P
    Portability has never been an issue to me,.... so i am really happy now with the Zeppelin which is sitting on one sideboard in our livingroom,.... if you interested in really good sounding speakers, do your self a favour and go audit those awsome Zeppelins.
    Regards
    Martin

  • IPhone and Bose SoundDock

    Has anyone tried using their iPhone with the Bose SoundDock?
    I was wondering if it would work. I know my Belkin cable to use the iPod in the car to play music through the sound system (that I bought at the Apple store) will not work with my iPhone.

    Yes, the Bose Sounddock is fully compatible with the iPhone.
    This page outlines how to use the iPhone with the Sounddock:

    Hi all,
    Hope you can help me out, I have just purchased a Nano 3G and its all fine when working with head phones.
    Tried it in my Bose Sounddock and it has several issues:

    2) will not let me change songs when docked
    3) when removed it locks for up to 20 secs

    5) if I press off on Bose remote it goes off for 5 secs then comes back on
    Please can anyone help explain or offer solutions to this please.
    many thanks

  • IPod Classic and Bose SoundDock Question

    Hi Everyone,
    I currently have an older IPod 3G and am seriously thinking about buying a new IPod Classic. I also have a Bose SoundDock. Here's my question. Will the IPod Classic fit into the SoundDock. I have all the inserts that came with ths Bose but no way to verify if one will fit the classic. Can anyone verify this or tell me if there's an insert available from Bose?
    Thanks.

    The Classic comes with an insert that will fit into the Sounddock.

  • IPod Touch and Bose SoundDock

    I have a first generation 16GB iTouch (bought a year ago) and a first generation Bose Sounddock. Is it safe to use my iTouch with the Sounddock? I heard from an Apple Store employee---with no real verification---that it might be dangerous to the iTouch and they didn't know if it was safe yet. She also said Bose would come out with a statement.
    So is it safe? Has anyone heard anything about it being risky to use?

    It should work but mnay not charge and you may see a message saying something like "This accessory is not supported".
    Although since you have a 1st gen touch, it will probably work fine.
    The 2nd gen touch and teh 4G nano do not charge over FireWire which is what most accessories use.
    Apple told developers a few years ago that FireWire charging was going away but most didn't do anything so new iPod owners are all up in arms over it.

  • Ipod classic and Bose sounddock III?

  • Connection between iphone 4 and Bose soundock

    I cannot get my iphone 4 to connect properly to my Bose portable soundock. Sometimes it works fine, but at other times it won't connect at all or is intermittent. My ipod, however, works great every time on the Bose. Any ideas?

    Contact Bose. Or look at supported devices for that soundock

  • Bose sounddock and itunes application

    On the iphone 3g, i downloaded AOL radio and want to dock my iphone to the Bose Sounddock and listen thru there rather than where the little headphones. HELP! Please. I've searched everywhere to find out why no sound is coming out of the system. I want to listen to music and I also downloaded AOL radio to pick up local radio stations so I can listen to the Phillies games thru my BOSE. Thanks

    i would suggest going to Bose's site and doing some research. if you can not find any info there, call them. since the problem is with their gear, unless someone here has exactly the same gear, we won't know what to do.
    sorry.

  • Bluetooth Headset with Bose SoundDock

    I tried searching with no success.
    If I get a bluetooth headset can I receive calls if I am playing music thru the iPhone in a Bose SoundDock?

    I don't have a Bose but I have the same issue with a lesser radio with a iPod doc. I also have an FM transmitter for my iPod. The radio and the FM transmitter both work to play music from the iPhone but will not charge. My understanding that the charging voltage from those docks is something other than the 5 volts that the iPhone uses so the phone protects itself by not allowing the dock to charge it. I have been unable to find any type of adapter that will reduce the voltage so the dock will charge the phone.
    I would love to have a Bose but am not glad I did not spend all that money and have a dock that would not charge my phone. Please post if you find any type of solution.

  • Bose SoundDock Portable

    Are you able to use your iPhone in the Bose SoundDock Portable to play music?

    I copied the following from Bose's website regarding compatibility with the SoundDock Portable.
    +SoundDock® systems work with most iPod models including the iPod touch and any iPod featuring a click wheel, including all iPod nano, iPod mini, iPod photo, iPod video and iPod classic models. *They also play music with iPhone™. (In the event of audio interference, set iPhone to Airplane Mode.)*+

  • Using the video iPod with the Bose SoundDock

    I just purchased the new video iPod and Bose SoundDock, I noticed that I can't fast forward through MP3s when using the SoundDock remote, anyone else notice this? Downloaded the latest updates from Apple's website, didn't help...
    drakemallard

    Hey,
    I had exactly the same problem and updated both my iTunes software and my iPod Software (downloaded the latest iPod updater) and the problem has been fixed. My iPod video is now running software version 1.1 and I can fasst forward and rewind using the Bose remote with no problems now!
    I loved the SoundDock before, but now it just feels all that more complete. Hope it helps.

  • HT1665 Why does music come out muddled and echoing in alarm mode when the iPhone is connected to the Bose SoundDock lll?

    There is a very unique problem with the iPhone 5 and iPad mini when connected to the Bose SoundDock III.
    In normal music playback, music sounds great coming out of the Bose SoundDock, but, when a song is chosen for the Apple Alarm App and turns on when the alarm goes off, the music sounds terrible.  It reverberates, echoes, is muddled, sounds messy.
    What is so odd about this is the same sound coming out of a speaker-device connected to the phone's headphone jack sounds perfect, and as intended.
    It only has this issue when it is in alarm mode and it's connected via the lighting port connector.
    Is this an Apple software glitch that wasn't researched fully or a manufacturing defect on the Bose end?
    I've tried a couple Bose systems so it isn't peculiar to one SoundDock.
    What are your thoughts?

    Check Settings > General > Cellular > Cellular Data and make sure it's "On".
