I'm assuming you have the bluetooth adapter plugged into the AUX connection on the back of the Bose radio. You will have to tune the radio to the AUX selection with the remote. You can then "pair" with your phone, tablet, laptop, etc. Be sure the bluetooth fuction is enable on that electronic device. I purchased the Bose Wave Radio which was just sold on HSN a few months ago that was without the bluetooth adapter; so I bought one elsewhere. I stream pandora through it now.
