The Beo6 needs to be programmed to work with your BS5. You could try it in Default mode to test it. Press the red dot button (bottom right) and hold, then press the center button. You will be in the setup menu. Press config, then choose Default. Press store then exit the setup menu using the back button on  screen. This should allow  you to work the basic IR functions on your BS5. You can also try the WiFi settings while in the setup menu. I don't have a BS5 so can't assist there. To get the full functionality, including the 2-way WiFi connectivity, you will need to get a copy of the Configuration Tool. Members have posted links on here. Don't forget to put it back into custom mode when you programme it. If you look here you will see what is possible when it is programmed. https://youtu.be/j3x3Auk74IM?si=4mXUtt3hShlGzpFz Good luck Stoobie

Thank you Stoobie ! I have found the link of the configuration tool. Unfortunately I have a Mac and I have only found a Windows Version. Does anyone know if there is also a version for Mac ?

It will only run on Windows. But you should be able to to run a Virtual Machine (VM) on Mac and run windows. It is a fairly  steep learning curve for the VM and the Config tool, but really satisfying when done. I use this as I have Windows 11 which does not work with my Beo5 https://www.virtualbox.org/ It is free to download and use. My biggest issue was getting the USB connection to work consistently, but once you get your head around that it can be really good fun. Im not sure if Parralels is still a thing in MacOS but I know VirtualBox works for me on Windows 11. Stoobie

I will give it a try. Thank you Stoobie. I appreciate your support.  

Have you tried it in Default mode (as described above) to see if you can get the basic control, while you get to grips with programming? It might not work for the BS5 as it is mire complicated than other B&O music players. Just don't forget to put it back to Custom when you begin programming. Good luck with the virtual machine. are you able to to let us know the software /firmware version of your Beo6 - it will be in the setup menu. That will help us assist with whether you need a 32bit or 64bit virtual machine. Stoobie

I really managed to install a VM Windows 11 on my Mac and install the configuration tool there. ? so far so good. Now I need to learn how I can program my Beo 6 with this software. I have version 3.00a on the beo 6. I have tried it using default mode, but it doesn’t really work. I keep you updated on my progress. So far it is a steep learning curve for me. ?

You may have discovered already but you you need to tick the Work Offline box when you use the config tool. Also it is VERY IMPORTANT to note, the Beo6 does not charge very well when connected to the USB on the PC. Make sure it is fully charged before to connect it to the PC. I only connect mine to transfer when I have made a configuration, then disconnect. Good luck

? after all the hustle I just noticed that I can’t plug in the cable of the beo 6 Docking Station into my Mac. ?

You need one of these. Login to view image Often came with older android smartphones, so you may have one lying about. Stoobie
