Four years ago, I purchased a Bose docking speaker system
for my ipod.  I live overseas and wanted
to have my music library stored on the ipod for use with a room speaker
system.  However, that ipod has only 16gb
memory and will not hold all my music.  I
want to upgrade my ipod to one with more memory, but the docking port for new
ipods is lightning, and the Bose speaker docking station has only a 30-pin
connector.  If I purchase a direct
lightning to 30-pin adapter, place this over the 30-pin on the docking speaker,
connect the new ipod, will this then work for audio?  I am interested in both charging the ipod and
connecting the ipod to the audio system.

    Hi Rizhie,

     

    What type of iPod did you get ? A newish one i'd guess with non-updatable memory ?

     

    What type of connector does your iPod and Bose speaker system have ? Skinny "Lightning" or the old fat 30-pin Dock ?

     

    If it's the old "Dock", the older iPods are brilliant - G5 or G5.5 Video ones are great. Ok they're old but with simple mongery their internal memories can be increased hugely (as far as 1TB i believe).

     

    My only reason for plugging the old G5 is they have a very good DAC. Gives a good representation of the tunes yer trying to play.

     

    All the best,
