MP3 audio connection

I will be sending my stock (92) Bose unit to Dr. Don because the CD player does not work. He can add a MP3 Audio Connection.

My question is can I use my IPOD with this MP3 connection ?

Thanks and have Merry Xmas. Al

Doctor Don said the he adds a 1/8 audio jack. What type of cable/connector do I use to go from my my IPOD to a 1/8 audio connection ?

It's just a headphone plug that the sound signals come in through instead of going out. You can plug in any device with a headphone jack.

Something like this would be what you need for an iPod.

I sometimes tend to make things hard. But I checked my headphone jack with my micrometers (ex tool and die maker) and it is 3.5mm which is .136. 1/8 = .125. but apparently they are considered the same. will go to Radio Shack.

thanks and Merry Xmas.
