I assume you're trying to get your iPod to actually interface with your head unit; controls, display, charging. If this is the case, then there isn't just a cable you need to plug in. You need to buy an interface. Only the Z's
with Nav have iPod connectivity built-in.
DIY: Bose Touring Stereo (NON NAV) iPod Interface Upgrade: iSimple Media Gateway
The iSimple interface is about $100. The model # for a 2011 Z w/Bose-NoNav is "PAC ISNI572". I installed mine in my '11 Touring No-Nav last week following the excellent write-up above. If you've never done anything like this before, it's pretty easy, but take your time and go slow, step-by-step.
Now I just leave an old iPod Classic 80GB in my glovebox connected 24x7, and I always have access to my entire collection. It's a little slow to browse for a particular artist (or heaven forbid, a specific song... Playlists are your friend
), and it may be causing a bit of XM weirdness (
2011 Bose+NoNav+iSimple = Shortened XM Titles?) but otherwise it's great. It charges my iPhone 4 and also even displays song & artist from Pandora, which is pretty sweet.
Note, this DOES NOT enable Bluetooth Audio streaming. I think iSimple might sell some other add-on gadget to the interface that enabled that, but it's part of the iSimple gateway, not the car.
