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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.>

  • Will the iPhone work with the Bose SoundDock Digital Music System?

    I want to get one of the new Bose SoundDocks but I'm not sure if it will work with the iPhone. I know it works with the iPod Touch but I know it's a little thinner than the iPhone. Has anyone tried using the iPhone with one of these?

    There isn't an adaptor that fits the iPhone but it works flawlessly with the iPhone. In fact, it works better with the iPhone than it does with the new Classic. The new Bose SoundDock has a nifty little remote that allows you to scan foward/backward through your playlists - this functionality works on the iPhone but not on a Classic iPod.

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

    My Iphone 4s can no longer play music on my great Bose Sounddock II.
    I searched a lot already, and visited 2 retailers, but no solution yet.
    I can charge, but cant play music anymore.
    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....
    Can they get married again?! (Iphone 4s and Bose SoundDock II)
    All suggestions and answers are really appreciated!
    Thx. in advance!!

    Hi Peter,
    Thx, but your link regards blue tooth connection.
    Bose sounddock II has NO blue tooth........Its connected directly to the Iphone 4s.

  • IPhone 4S, iPod Classic, Bose SoundDock

    Does anyone know if Scoche PassPORT home charging adapter will work with iPhone 4S and iPod classic (160gb, late 2009), and the BOSE SoundDock (1st version)?
    Many thanks,
    DeeElle

    Thanks to you both for your responses. I called Bose and they offered to trade in my original Sounddock for the new portable Sounddock which uses USB instead of firewire charging, so it's able to charge the iPhone 3GS. It would cost me $179 for the trade. They also have the option of changing the charge cradle on the original Sounddock to USB for $99. I love the Sounddock and like the idea of a portable Sounddock that can run on battery power. A new portable would cost $400, so I'm probably going to go with the trade-in option.

  • IPhone & Bose SoundDock Problem

    Hi,
    I have the Bose SoundDock (iPhone compatible in flight mode). Everything works, however, especially when skipping songs, the iPod app closes and the phone returns to the Home screen. This has been constant and the iPod doesn't open up again, so it has to be manually restarted. My iPhone has done this before from time to time out of the dock, but when in the dock, this happens without fail! Therefore, I was wondering if it is the iPhone or the dock causing the issue?
    Thank you!
    Shane

    Likewise mine works perfectly same devices so it is a unique issue to you not generic
    If you have correctly tried to pair and  still no connection try .
    reset iPhone . Restore iPhone first with back up then if required as new
    It is unlikely to be the Bose firmware ,mine has worked from an iPhone 4 onwards for almost 4 years  without any changes despite regular iOS updates

  • 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

  • Charging with Bose SoundDock [ipod 2g]

    Ok, I know it doesnt work, and I am so ****** off about it you have no idea, paid $450 for it.
    Its still in warranty, if i take it back, is there any chance they will replace it with the new Bose speakers that do work?

    The Bose SoundDock II is suppose to work with the 2G iphones/itouch not the original/previous SoundDock.
    I recently bought, via a very recognized online auction, a new and sealed Bose SoundDock. The package seal date was 10/2007! Bose had the SoundDock listed on their website literally about 2 weeks ago then it's gone now as the company finally phased out the older model.
    At least I got a deal online as the original price was $399.
    Let's see...
    I bought mine with "free shipping" for $195. If I bought it at retail, it would've cost $399 + 15 sales tax in my state = $414; I saved 53%!! Woo-Hoo!
    Too bad it's now "outdated" and replaced my an updated, lower cost model! AUGHH!
    Oh, well!
    The SoundDock works well with my older iPods (30Gb/60Gb/80Gb) and 1G/2G/3G nanos (Yeah, yeah! I'm building an iPod farm!. I won't be buying any newer iPods soon).
    Anyway...
    Despite the limitations of the SoundDock of not having an auxilliary port or limited remote functions, it works well. Music and speech sound fine and clear!The speaker is meant for the "older" iPod versions (i.e. NOT the 2G iTouch/iPhone or 4G (chromatic) nano).
    Bose's newer SoundDock II is meant to be backward compatible as well as compatible with the newer iPods! At least the price for the newer version dropped from $399 of the original to $299, though it's still pricey!!

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can no longer connect to my Bose Sounddock 10 via Bluetooth.  It was fine under Mountain Lion

    Pairing my Bose Sounddock 10 to my Macbook Pro (early 2011) via Bluetooth was fine under Mountain Lion.  After installing Mavericks, connection failed. I deleted the Sounddock & attempted to pair it again.  I get an occasional 'flash' in the 'Devices' list, but no pairing occurs.
    I have no issue pairing the Sounddock to my iPad running iOS 7.0.3.
    Has Bluetooth been changed for Mavericks?
    Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

    I actually have the same problem, since I upgraded to Mavericks my MacBook Pro can't seem to find the Bose sounddock 10. Has anyone found a solution to this.
    It still works with the iPhone 5
    Thank you

  • Why does my Bose Sounddock series 2 start at 0 volume when I connect via airplay?

    Whenever I connect to my Bose Sounddock Series 2 using my iPad, iPhone, or iTunes, the volume always starts at zero, so I have to get up, find the remote and turn up the Sounddock manually, every time.  Is this just the way the Sounddock is designed?  Or is mine defective in some way?  Or is there a setting that I can try?  Oh, another thing, I'm connecting to it via the Airport Express.

    Hey iPod touch users 101, Have you done trouble shooting 101? (couldn't resist, the 101 thing just screaming to be done, anyway...) Most often the little switch inside the headphone port gets stuck open, so your iPod thinks the headphone jack is still pulled in. Try looking the port with your iPod turned off, do you see anything, pocket lint is most often the culprit. If you see something attempted to blow it out, or use a probe to carefully remove the foreign debris. If that does not work, or you do not see anything, try quickly plugging / unplugging the headphone jack several times about 12 times, free the switch, if contacts are corroded this action should clean them. Check for foreign debris again, may need to repeat this action. Hopefully this solves your issue. You can also try resetting, press and hold the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears then release both buttons, or go into Settings>General>Reset, then tap Reset All Settings, but I think from what you have described you problem is hardware not software. If problem continues, contact your Apple store or the Apple Genius Bar, and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

  • MacBook Pro, AirPlay and a Bose Sounddock 10

    Not quite sure I understand this:
    Using an iPhone 4 paired with a Bose Sounddock 10 ( using the Bluetooth Adaptor ) the Sounddock appears in the AirPlay menu from within the iPod app, selecting it streams the music beautifully.
    Paired the Sounddock 10 with my MacBook Pro via Bluetooth. Streaming works directly to the Sounddock from within iTunes absolutely fine.
    BUT what I don't understand is why the Sounddock does not appear under the AirPlay menu as per the iPhone ?
    Can anyone shed any light on this or explain it to me ?
    Thank you.

    The Sounddock does not communicate or receive airplay information via bonjour on your wifi network. This is not supported in any bose products to my knowledge. Bose would (in my opinion will) have to implement the airplay framework to show up without an airplay enabled proxy (macbook (air|pro) | i(phone|pod|pad)).
    Now if airplay takes off like I really hope it does bose will have to implement this functionality to stay relevant, but you have no recourse but to connect to an airplay enabled proxy for the device you already own.

  • 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.
