Hello,

My iPhone 12 running iOS16.1.1 has been enroled in my company cell phone fleet. My company's IT have deploy VmWare AnyConnect tool. The company policy requests an Airplay code for any Airplay new connection from/to the iPhone:

  • I succeeded with Apple TV the 4 digits AirPlay code (it was automatically displayed on my TV's screen),
  • I'm failling to connect with my Bose SoundTouch 20 Serie III since enrolment in the company's phones fleet.

I tried to sollicitate both Bose Technical support, then Apple support without success.

In fact, when trying to pair via Airplay in between my iPhone and the SoundTouch device, the phone is requesting an "AirPlay Code" which I do not know, and never displayed on the Bose device screen...

I guess Bose is missing some secured Airplay protocol features ... Any help would be welcome in between Apple Developpers and Bose developpers, as the Bose Technical support claims that they cannot log any ticket to Bose developper...

If anybody can ring a bell at Bose... to solve this limitation.

Best Regards

Hi there, I would recommend ensuring your speaker has the most recent firmware update, which should enable AirPlay 2. Once you've done that add the speaker to your Home app and I think that might solve your issue. Also did you try just using 0000 or 9999 or the last four digits of the serial number as the AirPlay code?
