There could be several reasons for this, but let's start with the basics. Here are a few things you can try:


  1. Make sure your Bose stereo is in pairing mode. Usually, you'll need to press and hold the Bluetooth button until you hear a voice prompt or see a flashing light.
  2. Double-check that Bluetooth is turned on your iPhone. You can do this from the Control Center or in Settings > Bluetooth.
  3. Ensure that your iPhone is discoverable, and your Bose stereo appears in the list of available devices.
  4. If you've connected to the stereo before, it might help to 'forget' the device on your iPhone (Settings > Bluetooth > Your Device > Forget This Device) and then try reconnecting.
  5. Restart both your iPhone and your Bose stereo. Sometimes a simple reboot can fix connection issues.
