Connect your iPhone 5 to 30 pin speaker docks with the CableJive dockBoss

William Judd

If you’ve picked up an iPhone 5, then you’ve probably noticed that new Lightning connector on the bottom, which replaces the older (and larger) 30 pin connection. That’s great for saving space, but it also means that any iPhone accessories you had with a 30 pin connector won’t connect to your new iPhone. Enter the dockBoss – a new accessory which allows you to connect to any iPhone audio system that uses the old 30 pin connector with your new iPhone 5 – including speaker docks and car audio systems.

The dockBoss is simple to use – just connect one end of the cable to your dock’s 30 pin connector and the other end to your iPhone 5’s 3.5 mm headphone jack. Any sound produced by the iPhone 5 will then come out of the speaker dock, allowing you to use your old iPhone audio accessories with the new iPhone.

Of course, the dockBoss is useful in other situations too – for example, you could use it to connect a 30 pin speaker dock to another device with a 3.5 mm headphone port, like another smartphone, tablet, laptop or MP3 player.

The dockBoss cable is 2.5′ long, so you’ll even be able to pass your iPhone around and let other people choose tracks to listen to – if you want them to! The dockBoss is light and small when folded up, so it’s easy to take with you if you need it.

Without a good iPhone 5 dock on the market, this really is an essential accessory. You could also just pick up a 30 pin speaker docks on sale, pair it with this cable and save a bundle!
