S1 Pro System updates can be obtained by using your PC or MAC computer. Navigate to the Bose Updater. The update requires a USB cable.

If you purchased your S1 Pro System prior to May 10, 2018 (North America/Europe) or July 2, 2018 (other regions), you must update your firmware using the Bose Updater. Then you can connect to the Bose Connect App.
