Over time my remote started to fail, and would sometimes work and sometimes not. I found that the problem was with the very thin plastic case failing to keep the coin battery in contact with the flat square battery contact inside the remote. I found it by placing the remote in one hand and squeezing the upper and lower surfaces of the plastic case with the thumb & index finger directly above and below the point where the battery was located inside the remote. While applying pressure as described, I was able to operate the remote with the other hand and everything worked fine. I ended up placing a small round piece of thin packaging cardboard on top of the battery and re-inserting it into the remote. Since then, everything has worked perfectly. The small piece of cardboard keeps the battery in contact with the square battery contact inside the remote.
Check the remote control for its infrared emission. Check it with fresh batteries. If you wish to get more details about how to check a remote control, please visit this site. One among the posts has details about it. Surf the site with patience.

Pull off the front panel, be carefull there is a ribbon attached. Detach the ribbon. There are 2 ribbons attached to the front panel, one that leads to the IR (remote sensor) and other for the controls on the top of the unit.
Most likely the ribbon that goes to the IR sensor detached itself, this is common if the unit is dropped etc. Insert the ribbons (2) re-attach the front panel and the remote should work fine. You'll notice some tape on the IR ribbon, I suggest using some stronger tape, BOSE tape thats not very good.
This happened to me on my 3-2-1 GS II system and fixed it.

Hi Mike. ?you will have to get the model number off of your radio and contact BOSE so that the remote will be compatible with the radio. You can contact Bose at 1-800-999-2673
