Paddy78 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 So I tried the iPhone / Aux hack today. Everything seemed to go Ok, but after reinstalling and trying the reset procedure several times, I still can't get the deck to reset. I followed the guide to the letter, except I removed the power to the tape motors. Could this be a possible issue? Is there anything else I can try that might work? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy78 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Well I guess that's what I get for trying to be clever! I'll have to take it back out tomorrow and reattach the power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for sure as I never had a Bose long enough to do anything to it, but I haven't seen anyone else have this problem, most have said the guide is really good so yeah maybe a case of you being a bit too inventive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Ha ha, yeah... Should have just followed the instructions! I'd read about the tape motor being annoying, so thought it would be a simple fix just to disable these. I'll sort it tomorrow and report back.

Zugara Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I think you need to push the tape carrier down, use a pen to push it down, insert pen into tape slot, in the centre and push it into the lever that lowers the tape carrier, you should have sounds via the aux you installed.

Paddy78 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Turns out, not deviating from tried and tested instructions is the way forward! Soldered the wires back on the motors and the deck reset immediately. I now have iPod in my Zed and the sound quality is really good!
