I just received my 5th Generation iPod and trying took hook it up to my Bose Wave Radio. I have the Wave connect kit for my original iPod Classic. I did purchase an Apple Lightning to 30-pin Adapter. I cannot get the sound to come through my Wave Radio.
Not sure what I am doing wrong.
iPod touch, iOS 8.1.2, null
You can try the following:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, some older dock/devices are not compatible with the Lighting to 30-pin adopter. have yo went to Bose's support site?
I just got the device yesterday I am not sure what resetting will accomplish. I can directly plus the ipod and the sound comes through - I just can't use the remote.
Yes I went to the Bose Support site and not finding much help - will revisit that site as well
What specific Bose unit do you have? A Bose link would be nice.
i have a Bose Wave Radio . Bose website is www.bose.com.
Are you connecting the iPod to the dock
http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/wave_systems/accessories/wave_3_ dock_acc.jsp
with the Lightning to 30-pin adopter?
If I click on the link in that page for iPhone/iPod compatibility the 5G iPod is not listed. As I said before, the Lightning to 30-pin adopter does not work with all older docks. The dock is old since it has a 30-pin connector.
Before I answered you I wanted to give Bose a call. I was told that even though my Wave System was older I should be able to make the new iPod touch work with it. He gave me a couple of suggestion.
1st he told the that the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter I purchase was really not sturdy enough and suggested I get one that had a that had the cord to it that way I could lay the iPod down. He also suggested using a Bose Bluetooth accessory (http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/home_theater/accessories/bluetoo th_audio_adapter/index.jsp&color=bl)
I want to thank you for your help. It was very much appreciated.
I doubt the type of adopter is the problem now but as Bose said, the little show adopter could damage the port on the iPod or the dock if you are not careful. The cable is better.
