This FAQ answers how to connect iPhone to Bose Docking Station.
The new iPhone, iPhone 5, features a new connector for charging. Unfortunately, the lightning connector does not allow the iPhone 5 to be plugged into the Bose SoundDock.

2. The blue light should be blinking on the CoolStream
3. Go to Setting -> Bluetooth on the iPhone.
4. Tap CoolStream and wait for “Connected” to appear (3 seconds)
5. If required the pairing code is 0000 (four zeroes)
