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:

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

It worked fine a couple of IOS-updates ago, but no longer. Now I run IOS 7.1
But my wifes Iphone4 is still doing great on the Bose Sounddock II, and she runs the newest IOS7.1 also....

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.>

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 on Bose SoundDock?

I have Bose SoundDock for my iPod, wondering if I can put iPhone on it and use as regular iPod? anyone done this? if so, will that charge iPhone as well?
Any input will be appreciate.
LC II • II CI • 7100 • PBG3 • G4 • MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I have a Bose SoundDock that I have had for about 3 years. I have had a non-click-wheel iPod, an iPod Video and now my iPhone - all three have worked on it just fine.
One thing I noticed was that it doesn't have a good docking "plate" that fits the iPhone, but I just took the plate off completely, and every once in a while if you don't turn Airplane Mode on you hear the "cluck cluck cluck" noise from the phone.
Other than that, it's working very well and I am very pleased - works with the remote & everything! Best of luck.

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.

IPhone and Bose Headset

I just bought an iPhone and really like it. I have a set of Bose noise cancelling headphones I have been using on my old iPod and when I tried them on my iPhone they did not work. I could not hear anything despite them being plugged in (and yes I had them turned on - :P). I tried the headphones that came with the phone, and those worked fine.
Am I not suppose to be able to use these awesome headphones with my iPhone?? I am thinking I need to take the phone back, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue?
Thanks, Scott

Well according to Bose their cables do not work here is a reply from Bose and my QC2 and Cell Connect kit from Bose. I wish I still had the message I sent Bose because the Bose Cell Connect Kit page says they work with the iPhone.

Mr. Trinkle,
Thank you for the inquiry. The Apple iPhone incorporates a deeply recessed headphone jack that makes it incompatible with most headphones on the market, including Bose(R) headphones. Bose will soon introduce an adapter that will allow our headphones to be used with the iPhone. We do not have a time frame for when this will be available however.
The Belkin Company makes an adaptor, for standard headphones, which make them compatible with the iPhone.

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?

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

Iphone and Bose Headphones

Has anyone else had trouble getting their Iphone to work with Bose Quiet Comfort 3 Headphones? I can't get sound through mine and it feels like the plug into the phone is not fitting snugly. Any help would be appreciated.

The port on the iPhone is a lot narrower. The headphones will work but you will need an adapter. The adapter is just narrow on the end that plugs into the iphone.
Theres an e-bay seller with the ID: techtoys888
Or you can try searching for : Headphone Earphone Headset Adapter for iPhone
This guy was the cheapest I could find.

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".

How to fix New Bose SoundDock Portable not working with iPhone 4s?

I am having trouble working with my Bose SoundDock Portable with my iPhone which i bought on monday.
I have a iPhone 4S running on iOS 5.1.1 and nothing is working. Not charging nor playing music. Thought it was going to be as simple as plug and play. So annoying.
I've tried turning my phone off & on = NOTHING
I've tried removing the universal adapter to test if it had been a connection problem = NOTHING
It had been suggested in other forums to check if the 30 pin dock connector on your iPhone was clear. Clean and tested = NOTHING
I'm starting to think
A) Its the new update of iOS 5.1.1
or
B) Its a faulty Bose product.
Both Bose and Apple website both confirm that the iPhone 4S is compatable with Bose SoundDock Portable.

http://store.apple.com/au/product/TP573PA/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5Mg&fs=m.manufacturer%3 Dbose
Is there anyway to fix this?

Thank you so much for sharing.
I had the same experience, now tried to reinstall iTunes et voilà.
Looked for suggestions around several forums but nobody suggested this.
And it works.
Thank you again.
