I have a 2003 sedan with a Bose stereo. It does not have a SAT or RADIO button. Is there still a direct-connect option for my setup? My Bose has a 6-CD changer which no longer works. Is there a place I can unplug the changer and plug in the iPod adaptor?

Another option - if I replaced my stereo with a different SAT-capable Bose, is that an easy plug and play switch? if so, then I could easily hook up the iPod adaptor.

Thanks for any advice!

FYI - I did do a search before posting my question, but almost everything I've read regarding hard-wiring the iPod involves Bose units pre-wired for satellite Radio (SAT button). My Bose does not have this feature. If someone HAS already posted a solution for my setup, I did not see it. My apologies....

 

^^^No worries... sorry for assuming.

In anycase... if you read through the forum... this new method will allow you to use it even if you aren't prewired for SAT. You just have to buy the extra connector....

But since you have an 03... you have a tape player so you can just get the cassette adapter... that's the cheapest and easiest solution.

 

I always thought the PA11-NIS connected through the sat button but when I hooked it up, I found that it actually acts as a CD changer so it might not need the sat button for that one?

 

Thanks everyone. I will try the option suggested by Day177017.
