Bose sound dock 1 survived as aux speaker

Many of you who may be interested in iPOD and dock speakers, have learned about BOSE(R) Sound dock speaker.

I got a white one.

BTW, as apple did some evil things like change pins for accessories for new ipod or new iphone, Sounddock speaker is a piece of junk.

So, I would like to recycle it as universal speaker with 3.5mm AUX with it.

1. Modding sound dock connector and wire it to 3.5mm F plug. (#13L, 14R and 24GND inside BoseSoundDock connector)

2. Just to buy for ipod nano dock speaker adaptor like Griffin ipod nano dock adaptor @ 8.99 USD

3. Wire some resistors to put 3.0VDC for pin#18 of ipod connector. like put 20kOhm resister between 18 and 19 then put 4.7kOhm resister between #18 and #1. Then #18pin to #1pin(GND) has around 3VDC. which enable Bose sounddock detect ipod is inserted on dock connector.

Now, I am trying #2 and #3 one by one.

I bought #2 and got two resistors each (#3) with soldering iron.

Result is not bad for #3 but #2 is ideal.

Thanks for reading.
