If your Bose device does NOT support charging, then the Patuoxun device will not work. I have two devices that I tried it in, a speaker box that I use my ipod (series 5) in, that charges the ipod, but NOT my iphone 4. The Patuoxun bluetooth would not work in that device. I also have a Sony speaker system that I play at work, plays and charges my iphone 4, that the Patuoxun DID work in. However, with my iphone 5, the bluetooth would stop linking with my phone after about 5 or 10 minutes of play. I returned it, disappointed in its performance.

I have the Bose Sound Dock 2. However I have read about issues with people having connection problems with the SD1. Supposedly, you can buy a 30 pin adapter (I do not recall the model) and then attach the Bluetooth adapter to that and it should work.

The patuoxun that I bought requires power from the Bose Soundock in the phone charging circuit. It works on my Bose Sound Dock 2 but I think the sound dock one does not charge your phone? It has to have the power or it will not work. Hope this helps.

if your 30 pin device does not charge your iphone/ipod, then this will not work without another adapter to correct the 30pin's configuration. I used this "Scosche PassPORT USB Home Charging Adapter

I don't have much help to provide...mine works fine with my iPod Nano (4th) and iPod (classic). No issue charging either. I'd try a different aux cable and perhaps another mp3 player and make sure the issue isn't external. Otherwise, I'd return the item for replacement. Frustrating, I'm sure.

Found a reasonable solution to the problem. I bought a dock extender cable (see product link below)that seems to have solved the charging problem while connected to the speaker system. Music plays and the iphone charges. All is good.30 Pin Dock Extender Cable-50 cm in White

just for the record, i owned one of these docks and a 2g ipod touch. It would play music just fine. It would not charge the ipod, so that made it just about useless for me.

As the iPhone 5 and Sounddock III both have 8-pin Lightning connectors this Bluetooth music receiver with a 30-pin connector would not be appropriate. This receiver has an Apple 30-pin connector and should work fine with any Dock that has a compatible 30-pin connector for an iOS device that is also able to charge the device. The Bluetooth receiver gets its power from the Dock. I've had no problem with either a Bose or an iHome dock. In fact, it goes between the two Docks without having to re-pair the BT receiver. It works slick, keeps me cordless and mobile.

I know this is a common concern but I just got this speaker and it CAN charge an ipod touch 2nd generation...if you have the time to deal with it. I tried playing around with it and figured out that if you have the speaker turned on (with the ipod turned on (or in sleep mode) and inserted on the dock) and unplug and replug the speaker, it begins charging each time. The speaker MUST be turned on when you unplug it or else it doesn't work. The ipod doesn't have to be on the dock when its unplugged but it has to be on the dock once you plug it in for this to work. This is the only way I can get it to charge 100% of the time. Tedious but it works. Let me know if this helps. Good luck everyone!

I am very sure it will work fine. I have the original bose sound dock and the Bluetooth receiver works flawlessly with my Samsung Note 3 phone. As long as your phone can locate Bluetooth signal it should work fine. This is actually one of my favorite purchases from Amazon this year. With this Bluetooth receiver my bose and my phone I have negated the need for a stereo!

I use it with a Bose Sound Dock II and it works fine. But a friend of mine has a MOBILE BOSE SOUND DOCK (don't know the series) and it doesn't work well. It has a knocking sound in the background

The dock stopped work really quickley my son has it and it only works with an aux cord! I wouldn't recommend it! I have a sony dock now I love and you can attach Bluetooth speakers. It cost about $90!

Ahhhhh....so you were sent the wrong Altec Lansing docking station. I still haven't ordered another one from Amazon yet. I was thinking about taking my IPOD touch (2nd Gen/16 GB) in to Target or Wal-Mart to try it on their docking stations. Has anyone ever tried that??Also, GM...I went through A.L. Tech support and none of the adaptors worked either. By the way, did you get a white plastic adaptor that came with your IPOD??? I found one here and it has 16 written on it. The black ones that I sent back to Amazon all had different numbers.Thanks,Seaturtlelady

I had never tried to use it that way however when you sent me that message I tried. The light came on and my iPhone found it and worked perfectly. It was recommended from employes at a Bose store and it works great with my Bose sound dock and other docks throughout the house also. Luv this product!!!

you will get sound because it has a auxiliary input, but as for charging, it may or may not work. And obviously you won't be able to mount it on that dock thing, so it will be hanging from the auxiliary cable.

I sent this back because it was not adaptable to my Bose speaker system. Bought a Nano instead and bought an Adapter for it from the Apple store. I like seeing the screen to determine what I play!Hope this helps!

Hi Tony. I returned this product because it did not work. It didn't charge my iPhone 4s or my iPad and it didn't play music through my iHome docking station. Other reviewers said the same thing. I bought one that works very well through cellphoneshop.net.

You do NOT need to use a charge converter with the CoolStream Duo. The CoolStream Duo can work on both a 5V or 12V device so it will work with the Original Bose Sounddock without a charge converter.

Yes it will. I have used it with that dock model. The one issue I have run into though is that with certain speakers plugged in to the headphone jack, the sound only comes out of one speaker. Not sure if it's user error on my end, although I have used several different audio cables and continued to get the same result with a certain set of speakers

Yes it will work provided you have the appropriate cradle that comes with Bose systems. However, with too much toggling the Bose has a tendency to become loose at the dock
