How to Add Volume Controls to Firestick Remote (Best Method)
2To add volume control to a new Firestick remote using your phone (since you lost the old remote), you need to configure the remote to send IR (infrared) signals to your TV. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Verify Remote Compatibility:
Ensure your Firestick remote supports IR for TV control (e.g., Alexa Voice Remote or Fire TV Remote with volume buttons). Check Amazon’s product page for your remote model.
Set Up the Fire TV App:
Download the Amazon Fire TV app (iOS/Android) on your phone.
Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as your Firestick.
Open the app, select your Fire TV device, and enter the 4-digit code displayed on your TV (if prompted).
Use the app’s virtual remote to navigate (swipe to move, tap to select).
Confirm Remote is Paired:
Ensure the new remote controls the Firestick. If not, pair it:
In the app, go to Settings - Controllers & Bluetooth Devices - Amazon Fire TV Remotes - Add New Remote.
Press and hold the Home button on the remote for 10-20 seconds until it pairs (look for an on-screen confirmation).
Configure Volume Control:
In the Fire TV app, navigate to Settings - Equipment Control - Manage Equipment.
Select TV (or choose Add Equipment if no TV is listed).
Select Change TV or Set Up TV to begin.
Choose your TV brand (e.g., Samsung, LG, Vizio). If your brand isn’t listed, select Other or proceed to manual setup.
Follow on-screen prompts. The Firestick will send test IR signals to your TV.
When prompted, press the Volume Up or Power button on the new remote to test if it controls the TV.
Confirm if the TV responds (e.g., volume adjusts or power toggles). Select Yes in the app if it works, or No to try another IR code.
