There is no iPod jack side output (or headphone output) on any of the Bose L1® Systems.

If you are seeing an image that looks like an iPod, that is the iPod INPUT on the Bose Compact.

TEST the steps and fix it. God bless you

Bad headphones/speakers

It's unlikely your headphones or speakers are bad, but it's worthwhile to eliminate these as the source of your problem at the beginning. Try your iPod with another set of headphones or speakers just to make sure that the problem is with the iPod.

Bad audio jack

The most likely cause of audio output problems on iPods is a bad audio-out jack. We sell the thin (20 GB) and thick (40 GB) headphone jacks, and we offer free guides for replacement. If this does not restore audio, the headphone jack cable may be the culprit.

Is it possible to plug an Ipod into this system?

Hi, it is possible. All you need to do is get a two to one RCA cable. (one side RCA that has two mouths stereo, and the other side will have a jack mouth that will go into the ipod.

Connect the RCA cable to the output of the bose lifestyle system and connect the jack to the input of the ipod(where you plug your ear phone in.).

After that, set the bose to AUX. and you can start playing songs in no time.

Take care.

I just installed a new battery in my ipod and now I have no sound coming fromn the earphone jack, it will play with sound in the docking station.

sounds like the jack on the ipod for the headphones is not connected properly. i would take a look at that spot inside the ipod see if anything is getting bent or crossed. or take it into someone who knows electronics and has some equipment to check the lines inside the ipod.

You can connect an iPod to your Bose V30 using an ipod dock, or simply with a mini-jack (headphone jack) to RCA cable plugged into your V30's Audio-In ports.

I hope that helps.

Connecting ipod to Bose lifestyle 48

I have a Lifestyle 48 and called Bose today. It is possible all you need is a cord that is a 35mm headphone jack on one side and RCA jacks on the other. You plug it into the AUX jack in the back of your system and the headphone jack in the Ipod headphone spot. I got the cord at Best Buy for ten bucks. It works GREAT!

Same same here!

Any readily available Stereo RCA to Mini cable. These cables are a in stock item at any electronics store.
Plug Mini side of cable into ipod headphone jack and the RCA side of the cable into any available input on the Bose system, match color for color, Red to right and White to left. Select that input on your Bose system and use the ipod as normal. This is the cost effective solution.
The better choice is to use a after market ipod dock system such as DLO http://www.dlo.com/products/homedoc_dx_Prod.tpl there are several levels to chose from all the way to HD outputs. These units can put your ipod display on your TV screen.

Wont play through my bose system anymore

the apple ipod are very delicate and it seems that docks are very harsh on the internal workings IE: motherboard of the ipod. it not just the touch, it's all ipods.
My suggestion is to check the headphone jack and if you get sound, don;t play your ipod on the dock at all. Your dock has probably done some damage to the audio circuit on the board.
If you get sound through the headphone jack save your ipods life and just use it through the jack.
I have replaced numerous motherboards on ipods played on docks. they just don;t handle the charging and playing very well whether it's heat or just the wrong voltage I am not sure.
But my first question to a customer is have you played it on a dock.
I would stay away from the dock

Cannot connect iPod to Bose Lifestyle V20 System

On the side of the V20 control box (with all the inputs/outputs on the back), there is a small jack for an input directly from the headphone output from your Ipod - so all you need is a male/male ended cord (like the one used in vehicles with AUX inputs) and plug in - SIMPLE!
