Updating bose soundlink mini ii.

2015-11-21 Thread Anders Holmberg
Hi!
Someone on the macvisionaries list ask about the updating of the bose soundlink 
speakers firmware.

He seem to struggle a lot with the update.
Does someone know if its even possible to update the soundlink as a blind?

Hi!

Depends on what Soundlink we’re talking about, I have the Soundlink Mini II 
which can be updated through a USB port.

To be honest I’ve not even looked for an update for it let alone do I know if 
one is available, the speaker does what I bought it for and that’s all I 
worried about.

Having said all that my Soundlink Mini II was purchased over 15 years ago and 
another series of Mini speakers have replaced it since, there’s a new updated 
Soundlink Mini which has a hands free speaker phone as part of its design and 
that unit is shore to have some sort of update facility but again no idea if 
any update is available.

Then there’s the Sound Link Mini Colour which is another series altogether.

I suggest that those wishing to attempt an update on their Soundlink product 
consult the documentation as to the steps required, the documentation is easily 
accessible through the Bose Web Site.

I’ve updated my Soundtouch Portable a number of times with a procure on the 
unit and the update is performed automatically by holding down a couple of 
buttons - the Sounctouch when operating is always connected to a Wi-Fi network 
as a rule so why not update the product automatically - .

They could also call bose. I too should look into this. Maybe mine needs an 
update too.

Hi!
Actually i really don’t see the need of an update unless the sound gets better.
¨So i don’t bother with it either but i’d thought i might ask if it might be 
needed.

There may of course be connection issues that need to be dealt with who knows.

Yep its a good idea to keep your products updated with the latest firmware of 
course but its often the case that updating products is not a matter of life 
and deaf so it pays to use Google and read up on what’s available or changed in 
various firmware updates and there are many forums that present that 
information to you.

The procedure for updating the firmware of my Bose Soundlink Mini is straight 
forward enough, connect the Mini to a USB port on your computer and run the 
utility which is available from the Bose web site and here is where there may 
be problems given its likely that the utility isn’t accessible and that’s 
probably the problem the chap encountered when he tried to update the firmware 
for his Bose product.

Again, not a huge insurmountable problem as but an annoyance all the same.
