Pretty sure the BS5E is just a pre-amp with powerlink, so you'd need a PowerLink to 1/8inch stereo-minijack cable, which would then allow you to plug in to the aux input of the BS8. When you set an iOS device in the cradle, it will switch to the iPod/iPhone input.

I'm seeing that the BS8 actually has RCA line in, so it's still the same story, but the cable you'd want to use would be one like this:
