Does your iPod have Bluetooth support? Bose products are pricey so they most likely have Bluetooth support for non-Apple phones. If the cheap passive Lightning dock to 30-pin iPod adapters work for USB charging only, they could be still be used on Bose docking stations along with Bluetooth to support music playback. https://oliver.st/blog/counterfeit-lightning-headphone-adapter/ It looks like counterfeiters have broken the authentication for Lightning audio devices. However, it is still unlikely that someone will make the adapter you need. Even criminals need to earn a profit. It is more lucrative to counterfeit a Lightning to headphone adapter than to design and make a Lightning dock to 30-pin adapter that only works with iPods from before 2014. --- End quote --- Other than a few iPod touch models, no iPod with the 30-pin Dock connector ever had built-in Bluetooth. (The final iPod nano was the only non-iOS iPod with Bluetooth, but it also used the Lightning connector.) (With that said, Apple's Bluetooth has always supported bog-standard Bluetooth audio. Only proprietary device communication requires Apple's certification. Hence why, for example, bluetooth multimeters need Apple's blessing. But speakers, headphones, etc. do not.) |
