What I did to connect to BOSE wireless speaker to my MacBook air was go in advance settings and uncheck all three options there and then press the wireless button until it beeped--> then I was able to pair it to my laptop. Success!

SOURCE: using the soundlink wireless music

Hi,

Simply plug the small USB key into your computer, turn on the SoundLink system and select your music--iTunes, Pandora®, whatever you like. That's it. No networks to configure, no cables to run. And you can control your music using the handy remote.

Remove the battery in the machine and put back. Also, remove the battery in the remote and insert a good battery.

To turn off youe aux simply press the aux botton on your phone i am sure it will work.

Thanks for contacting Fixya

    Clear the pairing list on both the SoundLink Wireless Mobile speaker and the source
    1. On the SoundLink speaker, press and hold the Bluetooth button for approximately 10 seconds until you hear a tone. The SoundLink speaker clears all Bluetooth devices from its memory and becomes discoverable
    2. Clear the list on your Bluetooth device. For more information, please refer to the manufacturer of the device
    3. Perform a product reset. On the speaker, press and hold Mute for 10 seconds, the LEDs will flash briefly. Press Power to turn the SoundLink speaker back on
    4. Try pairing the device again by following these steps:

    Manually connect the SoundLink speaker in the device listSome devices will pair to a device but not automatically connect. Go to the pairing list of the device and check if this is the case. If it is, try connecting to the SoundLink speaker.

    Problem getting my bose soundlink to play blue tooth audio from my laptop.

    Hi Sirtuan.

    Go to the system panel, there choose "sound" . a list with all available sound devices appear. search for your bose soundlink and make it your "standard device".
    had the same prob. with my BT headset and this works for me.

    if your bose get disconnected the sound should automatically switch to pc speakers.

    Regards
    Gue.
