I have a v1 Play : 5 with the hardware version listed as : 1.16.4.1-2.0. Is there a way of telling when this was made ? Thanks

So where do the 4 last digits sit ? If it’s 000E58500B16E in toto, are the last 4 digits - 8500. Can’t believe it was made in 1985.
Where are you getting “last 4” from? It’s the first 4, as printed on the unit itself (not via “About My Sonos System”).
I am sure there is but I don’t know what it is! How do you hope this piece of information would be useful to you?

Because I’m selling it and would like to know. I know it’s out of warranty but AFAIR it was a fairly recent replacement from Sonos for a failed unit.

No need to decipher the hardware version, the first 4 digits of the serial number are the YYMM of the date of manufacture.
All Play:5/gen1 units are “legacy” (S1). There’s no discrimination based on the year of manufacture.
FWIW if the main serial number begins with 00-0E-58 it’s pretty ancient.

Thanks - so xxxxxxB16E is 11 1 6 15. ?
That’s the serial number suffix (in hex) by the look of things, which is immaterial.

Well well, I learn something everyday. The bottom of the unit says : 1307 00 etc. so it’s July 2013. Thanks.
