How to Attach an iPod to a Miata MX5 Bose System
- 1). Grab your iPod and its audio cable and sit down in your Miata's driver-side seat. Insert the key and start the engine or turn the ignition to "On" or "Run" to enable the vehicle electronics.
- 2). Locate the auxiliary jack beneath your stereo head unit. This jack is right beneath the head unit and the climate control knobs. You'll see a small hole for the audio cable.
- 3). Connect your cable to the auxiliary jack. Connect the other side of the cable to your iPod. Turn your iPod on. Turn the volume on your iPod all the way up.
- 4). Press the button above your radio marked "Aux." Use the "Forward" or "Back" button on your iPod to play the track you want to hear.
- 5). Adjust the volume using the radio's volume knob or the steering-wheel-mounted volume switch.
