Instructions
Installation of the Bluetooth
SD2Upgrade Board in a
Bose SoundDock Series II
The installation of the board can be carried out
without any previous experience.
Overview:
The IPod docking connector in the Bose SoundDock
(BSD) is easily damaged. Replacement is relatively
straight forward but like everything the first time is
more difficult and some may find it extremely
fiddly. These instructions are to show the method
of replacing the docking board in the BSD in a
detailed step by step procedure.
The SoundDock is still the best sounding compact
IPod dock around and one of the few things that
can’t be upgraded by going out and buying a better
sounding unit at reasonable cost.
It is a good idea to watch the detailed ‘how to’
videos on YouTube. To access the videos for your
specific dock then visit web page:

and enter your dock serial number. Links to all
resources for your dock will be sent by email.
A full step-by-step video version of these
instructions is available in the technical guide
section of our website.

Note: NO SUPPORTED OVERLAY IS REQUIRED FOR
THE SoundDock II.
General:
1.
The full kit contains the T8 Torx Screw A
Supported Foam Overlay
is not required.
2.
Initially it is not necessary to remove the
four larger cross-head screws holding the
base moulding on. The half moon moulding
can be removed whilst all of these four
screws are tight.
3.
Three T8 screws hold the dock assembly in
place. These are found on the underside of
the half-round front moulding where the
IPod plugs in. Once removed the assembly
can be pulled out from underneath. You do
this by gently carefully pulling the ribbon
cable which is tucked under the lower
cover. Pull it out so that about 1.5 to 2
inches (3 to 5cm) of ribbon is showing. Then
hold onto the cable to prevent it coming
out any further and pull it from the plug on
the docking board.
4.
You should now have the docking assembly,
including the board and the plastic
moulding, free in your hand. Put the body
of the dock to one side.
5.
Separation of the dock board from the base
moulding .
6.
Take SD2 board in your hand and have a
look at it. Notice the ribbon connector at
the edge of the board. See that there is a
small darker section at each end that can be
moved back and forth. This is the locking
mechanism.
7.
Using your fingernail ensure that the
locking mechanism is out at both ends of
the connector. In the out position the tabs
are about 0.08” (2mm) out from the home
position.
8.
If the locking mechanism isn’t in the open
position then the ribbon won’t go in. The
insertion force is near to zero when it is
correct. If you have to push to get the
ribbon into the connector then check the
lock mechanism is out at both ends.
9.
Hold the dock so that the base is horizontal
and uppermost. Loosen the four cross head
screws about 1turn each.
DO NOT REMOVE
the screws completely.
10.
Bend the ribbon cable backwards so that
the end is parallel to and lying over the flat
base moulding.
11.
Hold the half new dock connector board
with the base flat on the lower base of the
