Bose Soundtouch Will Not Update

Note: If you have an Acoustimass 300 wireless bass module connected to your system, it must be connected wirelessly in order to receive the update as well. If the bass module was connected to the console using a 3.5 mm cable during the system update, the bass module will not be updated. To update the bass module, disconnect the 3.5 mm cable at both ends, pair the bass module to the console and install the software again using the method below.

You can manually update the system using the remote control. This method requires that your system is connected to your network. The Wi-Fi® indicator on the front of the system should be solid white to indicate network connectivity.

Note: If a new update is not available, this method will reload the current version on your system:

On the remote control, press the SoundTouch button

Press and hold the Closed Captioning (CC) button until the Wi-Fi indicator, TV indicator, SoundTouch indicator and Bluetooth® indicator on the soundbar blink white

Release the CC button. The system will start updating automatically. The Wi-Fi indicator will flash while the system is updating. The update may take 10 minutes or more, and the system will reboot when the update is complete. You can view the progress of the update in the SoundTouch app. The progress bar in the app will reach and stay at 100% after the soundbar is updated, but will remain at 100% as the bass module is updated (if connected).

You will need a USB A to Micro USB cable to perform these steps.
