Have you also taken a look at these threads ?

(there used to be more on Beoworld marks I and II)

Has anyone dealt with RIDAX?

RIDAX's iPOD Dock

BC9300, MCL and Netmusic

Can I plug my iPOD into my BM 5000?

Connection challenge Beosystem 7000!

and including one of your previous threads where someone mentioned Ridax in passing :)

Just do a search for "ridax" ... I only extracted the first two pages on English hits for you

If I remember well, than Ridax has a special adapter which allows not even to connect the Ipod to the 2500, but You can even remote control it with the remote control.

Really?

yes, really

Thanks Elephant,

I already have the apple dock and the dock's usb/power cable. Which new components would I need? (And I am not experienced in soldering)

I believe no soldering is required !

Ridax used to do it for you ...

Just send him a PM and maybe he can still provide you that service

Don't ask which pair is in and which pair is out, I never remember

Oh golly do I know that feeling! Once I opened mine up (having never seen it before), I was completely confused!

I use a generic 5 pin DIN to female phono and coonect this to a 3.5mm to twin phono lead.

Just switch the BeoCenter to AUX turn on the iPod and try the pug combinations until you get a sound.

And never trust the colours, even though you may be used to white & red being the left & right!

I used to have "correct" adapters in this respect, the next time I bought them from the same place they looked exactly like the one in your picture, but the pairs are black & white and red & yellow. Don't ask which pair is in and which pair is out, I never remember

Great! Now is there a reason why there are two wires to white or does it matter? And any reason why you use the rca females instead of males? Please be patient with me..I'm just a beginner.

Thanks again

Richtoy,

Thanks for your reply to my post. Would it be possible for you to send me some details on how you rigged the cable from the 5 pin beo to the rca type ipod docking station cable. I'm obviously not an audiophile but am willing to give it a try with your help. Also ..the fm radio on my 2500 won't pick up the fm transmitter I have connected to my computer. Is this typical on the 2500. I connected up the rabbit ear fm antenae but still nothing???

Thanks for you help.

I use a basic iPod dock toghther with a homemade 3.5mm - 5 pin DIN lead that is connected to the AUX input on the 2500 (an Overture in my case). You just switch to the A AUX to select the iPod.
