Q: QuestionUsing this with XM in home radio boom box is it still wireless from the radio input/output to the speaker in another room?I am trying to keep from running long speaker wires from my xm radio boom box to a speaker. Can I plug this in my radio box and use the speaker in another room say 10 ft away?

Asked 9 years ago by Brad.

• A:Answer Hello Brad, If you have an audio cable you may certainly connect the AUX output on the boombox to the AUX input on the SoundLink Mini and you'll be able to enjoy your XM radio. If your Boombox has a Bluetooth transmitter built in then you can connect to the SoundLink Mini wirelessly.

Q: Questionwill soundlink mini fit in case with soft cover on itIf purchasing a soft cover and a carrying case, will the speaker fit in the cast with the soft cover on the speaker?

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes, it does perfectly. I've been using a cover for quite some time now and have had no issues whatsoever. The cradle and the speaker is designed in a manner that the cover doesn't limit or impact its functionality. You should definitely go ahead with the cover for the speaker in order to protect your device.

Q: QuestionRed Blinking Light and Won't Turn onI recently opened one of these speakers from a box that was about a year old. It had never been used before, and so I plugged it into charge. I got a red blinking light as it was charging. I figured the light would go away after some time, but the red light will not go away and the speaker will not turn on. Is there anything I can do?

• A:Answer The red blinking light means low battery. It should go off once it has a charge. I'm guessing it isn't charging correctly. Possibly failed battery or charger? Return it if possible.

Q: QuestionSound comes out only from Front "Bose" side... Help!After getting this as a graduation present, I've had this for 7 months and I've noticed my speaker lost its loudness. It only plays sound from the side that says "Bose." Isn't music supposed to come out from both sides? What can I do to manually fix this? I wasn't given the receipt... how can I get this checked or fixed? Thank you!

Q: QuestionBose speaker randomly turning offI don't understand why my Bose speaker continues to randomly turn off even with a full battery charge, there's nothing obscuring the connection from the Bluetooth device (my phone) to the speaker itself. And the software has been updated.

Q: QuestionI got a Bose soundlink miniCan you trade in for the new Bose soundlink mini 2

Asked 9 years ago by Ameer_14.

This question was asked about the related product: Bose® - SoundLink® Mini Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black

• A:Answer Right now the Sound Link Mini 2 is selling for $20 more than the original. If it's new and you have a reception you can exchange it if you pay the difference. I will warn you that in my experience the original has deeper sound and is louder, so I wouldn't exchange it. Also battery life was same or worse with the 2 in my experience (contrary to what is advertised)

• A:Answer The original is selling for $180 online and in store, although many stores are selling out of this older model. It has better sound (in my opinion) then the new Mini 2, so it's worth snatching one up before they're all gone.
