I know this is an old video but it really helped me out. I'm now shopping for a Bluetooth stereo amp board (looking at the AP50L) to fix my old dock. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I ordered the little amp from DROC and the rest was easy thanks to your video. The little Sound Dock is sounding better than ever in the background as I'm typing. Big thumbs up from Australia :)

Cool. Under the tray those are T8 torx btw. Mine was only playing at full blast. Had to take the - and + buttons out and clean them. crud just got in there over time and they wouldn't bounce back. The little switches under them are old too, but it's usable again for now. I still have 2 working iPods with that interface but are not blue tooth, so this thing needs to last. 😃

Wow cool project. I never would’ve thought to do that. Mine speaker stopped working recently though my iPod is still getting power from the dock so I think the sound board has gone bad. Replacement board is roughly $50. So I might give this a shot.

Hi excellent video . I am using a logitech bluetooth adapter with series 2 and 3 also sounds excellent . But I want to connect a active subwoofer to series 3 I want a sub out from this small speaker . If you can made a video on this that would be great . Thanks

hi! mine was working normally until today. just makes the initial sound but the 24 pin is not functioning anymore (doesn't even charge the ipod). i suspect its the sound board since it does turn on but nothing else... any thoughts?

Ive got the same one I can’t seem to start it up do I need to start it up with the remote

Hi I have sounddock series 2 and recently noticed that it remains stuck in green light upon powered on but won't play any music ( via the aux in Bluetooth receiver) & no bleep/bloop sound too. I leave the speaker on for few minutes and then power if off & on. After that I hear the bleep/bloop sound and speaker plays music ok. What could be the issue? I like your mod but will the remote and dock board volume buttons work after the replacement?

Hi! Great idea to upgrade your sound dock! I have the same Bose, and it is not working. Can you tell me the specifications of the new Bluetooth unit bought? Best regards …

Sorry I have no idea based on your description. This is why I modified my own sound dock to use a Bluetooth connection because it is too difficult and expensive to figure out on your own how to repair it.

Hi Peter, I'm not sure, they could be referring to the P8330 Integrated Multi-channel PMIC with Inrush Control and Backup Power. Could it be this IC, would that make sense to you?

I'm getting static with my audio. What could that be?

Hello! Very good video! Question : did you get to notice any difference in audio quality?

Sounds pretty much as good as it always did. It really depends on the Bluetooth amplifier you buy, higher power in general will give you better sound but don’t go overboard on the power, these are smaller speakers.

Trust me it's not worth it. Sound won't be similar. Telling from experience. Bose tuned these speakers with very OEM frequency in mind. Any other amps, will sound muffled in my opinion.

Where did you buy this board? share the link 🙋🏻‍♂️

Bose uses typical speakers and uses software magic to get "great" sound. I'm curious if you feel that you've lost some quality due to that? *It's totally okay if you don't notice. IE The Bose speakers themselves were never the cool part.

Seems like no difference.

Great video! I saw you recommended Drok 200336. Did you install it & if you did where did you get the power? Thank You
