Yes, the USAV Bose Wave Music System – OEM Bluetooth Adapter should work with your 25-year-old Bose Wave system if it has red and white RCA audio input jacks on the back (which it likely does, especially if it's a Bose Wave Radio/CD system from that era).
Here's how it works:
-
The Bluetooth adapter connects to your AUX input using RCA (red and white) to 3.5mm or RCA cables.
-
Your phone or tablet pairs with the adapter via Bluetooth.
-
Audio is sent wirelessly to the adapter, which then outputs the sound into your Bose Wave system through its AUX (RCA) inputs.
What you'll need to confirm:
-
Inputs on your Bose: Make sure your unit has AUX IN (either a 3.5mm port or red/white RCA jacks).
-
Cables included: Some Bluetooth adapters include a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable. If not, you’ll need one separately.
-
Power for the adapter: Most require USB power. You may need a USB power brick or plug it into another powered USB port.
