Vintage Bose Sound Dock

Does anyone know how I can use my ipad with my old Bose Sound Dock. It does not

have the jack on the back that was suggested on sites I researched. Is there some sort

of adapter cord - Sound Dock to Ipad - available somewhere? I am in US, what I saw that

was a possibility was from UK and avail. to US I dont have an iphone so also not an option.

iPad mini, iOS 12

That sounds interesting - and too easy for some reason - but that sure sounds like it would work - don't know why i didnt think of asking Bose. I loved my sound dock - sound is of course amazing but after my ipod stopped working, then i bought one on ebay since they are now dinosaurs (how sad) and that one didnt last long it sure seemed like a waste to not be able to listen to my music. The Bose was gifted to me back when, and I dont have the means for that type of equipment upgrade so.. ya.

But if an $8.00 gizmo works how amazing would that be. So you think this might work? Didnt even know there was such a thing, not like Apple is helpful except for purchasing new stuff.

I did find what at first seemed like what you talking about - it was a 30 pin "adapter" to blue tooth which I

thought was going to be the "fix" but looks like they only ship to UK I am thinkin the 30 pin to jack in theory

should work - it the dock had a jack it supposedly works so why wouldnt the pin to jack work? hmmmmm

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions! You all are awesome. In these crazy times I just need me some super

cranked up Metal. Can only drive so long in the car with loud music. :) - plus there is no where to go LOL
