I had this problem as well. None of the above helped (but thanks)..


I updated the firmware on my Bose Series 2 headset with an update from

Bose: http://worldwide.bose.com/downloads/en/web/bose_bluetooth_system_download/page.h tml


This resolved the problem. Note that the link is only for the series 2 headset update, if you have a different device your device may also have an update -- try searching for it on the Bose site.


Good luck!

Had the same issue with my Bose Soundlink Bluetooth speaker and I called Bose. To fix the problem 1. turn speaker off. 2. turn speaker on. 3. hold down the button that shows a speaker with a / through it. When the light below the button comes on release the button. It is the 4th button to the right. What it does is clear the system and you should hook right up.


Bose customer service is great. I first contacted Bose via online chat and was told to call (877.210.3782) and the rep talked me right through it.

Ok, so here goes what I have found to thanks to some simple modifications for linking to a variety of devices including our iPhone 4 and our iPad mini. We are able to go from one device to another by simply turning off the BT of the device we are not using, then turning on the BT of our device we will use. The Soundlink speakers have the BT LCD blinking slowly and it will not discover a device in this mode. By pressing on the BT button for 2-3 seconds, the LCD will begin to blink faster and will not discover your device. It's a workaround option, but more importantly it now helps us have all of our devices work through the speakers.
