System update frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of the Bose® home entertainment system update application?
This application allows for a simple, immediate software update directly from Bose to your computer and into your system.
Why might I need to update my software?
Bose® home entertainment systems are engineered to be compatible with new audio and video devices as they come to market. This software update adds new features and remote control codes that your system will likely need to work with these new devices.
Will this update work with all Lifestyle® and VideoWave® systems?
No. The update works with all VideoWave® entertainment systems and the Lifestyle® V35, V25, T20, T10, 135 and 235 systems—or any other Lifestyle® system with a USB port.
Can this update be accomplished on both PCs and Macs?
Yes, with minimum operating system requirements: PC's must run Windows XP or higher. Macs must run OS 10 or higher.
Will this update affect my computer in any way?
Only temporarily. While the application is running, it will create and utilize temporary working files. When the application has finished and closed, it will remove all temporary working files including the application itself.
What if I lose my Bose-supplied flash drive?
You may use any flash drive with a capacity of over 1GB to update your system. Simply follow the directions in the download application.
How long will the update take?
The update can take up to 15 minutes. An "update successful" message will appear once it has been completed.
Is my Lifestyle® system compatible with 3D video sources for better gaming/movie experiences?
Yes, once you download the software update, your Lifestyle® system will be fully compatible with 3D video sources. Just connect a 3D TV and a 3D-capable Blu-ray Disc™ player, gaming console or other such device to your Lifestyle® system. You're now ready to enjoy 3D movies, broadcasts or games. For more information on the system's 3D capabilities, review our supplemental owner's guide.
Please note: The software update for the Bose® control console will not enable the VideoWave® entertainment systems to render 3D video.
