10 Best Bluetooth Adapter for Bose Sound dock

I own a 2013 Victory Cross Country. The phone hook-ups for the AUX stereo option is for the Iphone 4. Does anyone own a Iphone 4 any more? I went to the local stereo shop and they quoted me 13-1600 dollars for a stereo upgrade. Not happy with their answer I decided to look for other options. I first purchased the adapter to go from 32 pins to 8 pins the Iphones now use. That didn’t work at all. The stereo didn’t even recognize the phone. I then came across the coolstream bluetooth adapter and thought I would give it a try. Set up took seconds and within a minute I was listening to my music on the motorcycle. I could not be more thrilled with this device. I hope this helps other riders because there is nothing better than America blasting you in the face with ACDC as the theme music.

I rarely leave reviews (lazy mainly) and I purchase a fair amount of products to know good from bad. So for me to take the time to submit a review means the product really must be as good as it was portrayed. I have two Bose SoundDocks – one wired and one a rechargeable system – but both were the old 30-pin connector and since moving to new phones with the Ligthning connector, using these speakers was awkward. I purchased one of the Apply 30-pin to Lightning cables but while it did work, it felt awkward at best to use. I was ready to ditch the speakers and started looking at newer Bluetooth speakers, when it suddenly occurred to me to see if 30-pin Bluetooth adapters existed (as if I should ever have doubted it). I found two that seemed to be the best value based on ratings, cost etc. In the end I decided to go with the Coolstream Duo, although I was concerned about some reviews stating the distance the phone could be from the adapter was very limited, but I figured I could work around that.

WOW! I don’t get excited over products that often, but this one transformed a second generation BOSE SoundDock from a paperweight to great again – in fact even better than it was before Apple made it obsolete! I’ve only had the CoolStream a couple days, but plugged it into the SoundDock and was pleased to see it connect to my iPhone first without any issues. Then I connected to my Echo Dot and now I can voice control the thing!!! What a kick – this makes the SoundDock way better than it was back in the Nano days but the BOSE quality sound is still as good as it gets. I am on Amazon Prime and have a Pandora subscription so I can play pretty much any song, artist, or station I want by just asking for it. I hope the CoolStream lasts a long time and if it does, it will be one of the best value purchases I ever made. If you still have an old BOSE SoundDock, get one of these – you will not regret it. You may also want to get an Echo Dot as the threesome is awesome!
