Title: Echo Dot does not pair with Bose Soundlink III
Post by: Neil.Shaw on August 22, 2017, 02:01:49 pm

Hi, when searching for available Bluetooth devices (either by commanding Alexa or via App). It cannot find my Bose speaker. Via Bluetooth, on my phone and via my old iPad 1 it picks it up! Any ideas? I've restarted the Echo several times and still nothing!

Same here on the SL3 + Echo = no joy, no pair...

Its a great speaker and its got a 3.5" stereo headphone jack I have been using to "link" it to the echo...

Wish I could get the bluetooth working ...

Have you tried pairing them through Alexa app? IF your phone, tablet picks it up, I don't see how the alexa app can't see it.

Check out my post--> Re: Pairing wireless headphones to DOT possible?   (http://www.echotalk.org/index.php/topic,2598.msg14325.html#msg14325)See if the suggestions mentioned by mike27oct works for you as they did for me.

Good luck!!!
