Old Bose speaker that I attach an iPod to; this great speaker isn’t Bluetooth, is there a way to make this Bluetooth adaptable?
How do you use this speaker?

I had old Bose and then had to get a new iPod.  So there I was.  No way to dock.

 

 I could never find a backward compatible cord.  Ended up getting a new speaker.

 

My old Bose was not Bluetooth.

They are not bluetooth compatible, they are many speakers out there that are we went thru the same thing when we added Alexa to our home 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I was wondering if there is some way to make it Bluetooth. I use Bluetooth for my phone. It’s such a good speaker .

You can make a device Bluetooth enabled IF it it's capable of recognizing a USB Bluetooth dongle.

Ah, I was speaking of docking.

 

Yes you can buy an adapter.  

I didn't because I knew how old the speakers were.  Figured it was past time for new.
