Question: My original remotes no longer work well.  Is this typical of Bose remotes for Wave Radio III (made in China) ?
Document: This is original Bose so it performs perfectly, even came w a new battery. Word of caution....be certain you are ordering this for a Bose Wave III. Will not work with 1st or 2nd generation units.
I had to replace my remote because the original was lost. This was MY mistake. The Wave III Remote does not work on my WAVE I system. Just have to send it back. However, it arrived without issue and very quickly.
Would have been a better match had it not been for the setup buttons.I needed to replace the original remote when the alarm / clock setting numbers wore out. The new remote does not have the same key panel as the original however, it does work with my Bose system. I just have to use both remotes when setting my alarm.Kind of a bother but worth it!
Wave III radio does not have any buttons on the radio itself. It is by remote only, i bought a second remote to have on my side of the bed to control the radio. The remote, right out of the box, worked great.
This Remote works beautifully on my older model (original) Wave Radio Music System bought in 2010 even though some of the characters have changed. It has NO eject button so will not be of any value for a CD player model.
But unfortunately Bose employees doesn't know what it does. I do not have a wave radio 3. I have the wave 1. But I purchased a wave connect kit for my ipod and it no longer comes with a remote. So I contacted Bose, not once, but 3 times to ask if it would control my ipod if it was connected to a different stereo. They told me no 3 times. I didn't believe it so I took a chance on losing 15 bucks.Guess what?
I love this Bose Wave III and has misplaced the remote...so glad to have it back so I can listen to great sounding music again! !
it was shipped and received on time. The remote work well, if you are not planning on playing cd's. It's missing the play button.
I made an error when I ordered the radio remote when I needed the c.d. remote. Is it too late to exchange it?
I am very happy with the product, of course my Wave radio is useless without it. Price was good, shipping was good. It took them a month to get it to me. Appearently it was on backorder! Who knew, oh wait, Bose knew, but didnt bother telling me until I contacted them wanting to know what happened. A little communication goes a long ways...
Answer: works fine, just lost it. found it about 3 days ago and it still works like a charm. China>USA
