Bose Lifestyle 48

[Tim Fila]

I have the Bose Lifestyle 48 in our 52DB. I have the TV hooked up to the bose and it sounds great. It also has bose speakers in the front cabin and 2 bose speakers in the cockpit. I have 3 remotes all labeled. But, I can't figure out how to get sound into the cockpit and forward cabin.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Tim

I'm trying to remember how mine was originally, I might have a couple of things wrong here but this is a start -
On the back of the head unit is a connector called "BoseLink"; there should be a cable connected that is a Y patch cable. One end of that Y goes to the cockpit speaker amplifier which is a Bose SA-3 located in the entertainment center behind the head unit and the other end of the Y goes forward to another SA-3 amplifier located under the MSR bed.
The two remotes you reference are called Bose Personal music center II. One is or should be programmed for the cockpit speakers/amplifier and the other for the MSR.
The programming is done through the DIP switches which change the Room Code for that remote. There are DIP switches on the remote amplifiers also that must be set the same code as the remote. Room A is the solon, Room B is MSR, Room C is cockpit, etc up to 14 rooms/zones. Then that remote only controls the MSR or cockpit for example. These are the remotes with the LCD displays; the remote for the solon/main zone does not have a LCD display. It is assumed that you have replaced the batteries in the remotes and you can see the menu in the LCD display. All remotes are RF so they do not have to point or be around the head unit; all remotes communicate with the head unit.
To see if the Personal music center remotes function with the system see if they turn the head unit active zone on and off; all of the remotes should do that. If you turn the head unit on with a specific remote it should display zone on the head unit and only that remote can then turn off the head unit. Other remotes can functionally operate their zones however.
My advice at this point is to get the Bose documentation and go from here....
