Inventory:

I have a pair of beolab 4000 now connected to beosound 4000. I have an itouch connected to this.

A beosystem 2500 (with beolab 2500)

Beosound 1, Beolab 2000 and recently acquired wireless receiver and transmitter.

I was hoping to connect the beolab 2000 wirelessly to the beosound 4000 and was not sure what all i need. I do not have any extra IR eye. With what I have I request fellow users to recommend a better setup or suggest what i should buy to have a better setup

Thanks for your help

I *think* all you would need is a ML cable to connect from BS4000 to Wireless TX, then ML cable from Wireless RX to BL2000.  I do not believe you need an IR eye, as the ML signals from the BL2000 should "wake up" the Wireless RX.

One thing to check.  I remember a while back somebody posted a Wireless compatiblity matrix.  You may want to take a look at that...  You may also need to upgrade the software in the Wireless - unfortunately, there is no way to definitively tell what software is installed without a tool - a sticker or serial number might give a clue, but not 100%). although since you already bought the Wireless, perhaps this is a moot point.  I'd pick up a couple ML cables and see what happens.

I've been meaning to test what happens with an BL Active connected to a wireless - this might give some clues as to whether what I described will work, as the active should be sending pretty much the same ML signals as a BL2000.  If I get to this soon, I will post results.  I do have the latest software in my wireless - I upgraded so the "timer" function would work.

How to upgrade the wireless software. Can it be done self

I believe this requires a trip to the dealer.  I got the impression that they load it via bluetooth - when i got mine upgraded, the dealer had to send it out because "we don't have the machine".  Whether this is true or the dealer was telling a story, I do not know.  I also don't know how much they charge since mine was covered under warranty.

However, how do you know the software has not already been upgraded?

Here's a link to the compatibility matrix I spoke of earlier.  From my interpretation, the BL2000 is supported as I described above (assuming you have at least 2.0 software).
