ROAM 1st gen COPY Bluetooth settings?

I have a ROAM network at home, however I’m in the South Pacific on a cruise right now. I brought our ROAM 1st gen speaker with us. My iPhone connects fine to the ROAM across bluetooth. Just prior to our departure, I bought a new iPad. The iPad did not have the Sonos app loaded, which I’ve now done.

The iPad cannot “see” the ROAM as it was never connected to the home SONOS network.

Is it even remotely possible to use the ROAM Bluetooth settings buried in my iPhone, and manually create a connection from the new iPad to the ROAM?

 

Many TIA!

All you have to do is put the Roam into pairing mode, then go to the Bluetooth settings on your iPad and select the Roam.

See the following support page - Pair a different device with Roam

After pressing the power button for two seconds, the Roam will attempt to connect to the previously paired device. If it can’t connect, it goes into pairing mode (blinking blue led) ready to be paired with another Bluetooth device.

I did get it connected, u may have written while I was editing my previous post with an update. Thanks again
