try and disconnet the bose unit, all wires. then replug them, BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR CODE then retry it, if that dont work. honestly it sounds like you need to part the unit and only a technician should do that.

make sure you plug it in with the radio off and the key out of the ignition. Then plug it in, turn the key, power on the radio and see if it works.

I would keep trying different ways...
unplug the aux, start up the car, play the radio, shut the car off, take the key out, plug up the aux, turn the car back on. Try it then...

Another symptom:
I was testing mine out a few months ago and it stopped playing and I was sure it was hooked up right because I saw the track 1-99 on the display. However I noticed a pin inside the connector had come loose and wasn't making contact in the back of the radio. So make sure all the pins in the connector come to the end to make good contact in the back of the radio.

Ok guys heres the scoop. I called Pie and they said that the HON98-AUX auxiliary adaptor convertor DOES NOT work with 2002 Acura 3.2 TL Type S's. My brother sent Autotoys an email, more of a hate mail LOL, since we had to wait a month for this damn thing and they were suppose to send the blitzsafe. At this point he just wants to buy a new headunit. My question to you guys now is my brother thinks the speakers are self amplified so if you change the headunit ou need to change all the speakers....can you just change the headunit and have it work?!?!
