Modern iPods can store multiple gigabytes of music files which make them very convenient for transporting your entire music collection. The device is much easier to carry than a single compact disc. The downside to today's tiny personal music devices is that they can make it difficult to play music in a group setting or without earbuds. Connecting your iPod to a stereo system like the Bose Wave radio will fill a room with your favorite iPod tunes.

Connect using Auxiliary Cable

Step 1

Plug one end of the 3.5mm Aux cable into your iPod.

Step 2

Plug the second end of the 3.5mm Aux cable into the Aux port on your Bose Wave radio.

Step 3

Turn on both devices.

Step 4

Press "Aux" on the front of your Bose Wave radio.

Step 5

Select a song on your iPod and play it. The music will play through the Bose speakers.

Connect Using iPod Dock
