How to Pair New Firestick Remote if Not Working (100% Fix Method)
4If your new Firestick remote isn’t pairing, try these steps to pair it without an old remote:
Check Compatibility and Batteries:
Ensure the remote is compatible with your Fire TV model (check Amazon’s product page or manual).
Insert fresh AAA batteries (usually two) and confirm correct orientation.
Basic Pairing Attempt:
Unplug your Firestick, wait 60 seconds, and plug it back in.
Wait for the Fire TV to reach the home screen.
Press and hold the Home button on the new remote for 10-20 seconds, staying within 10 feet of the device.
Look for a blinking light on the remote (if applicable) or an on-screen pairing confirmation.
Use 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 the Firestick.
Open the app, select your Fire TV device, and use it as a virtual remote.
Navigate to Settings - Controllers & Bluetooth Devices - Amazon Fire TV Remotes - Add New Remote.
Press and hold the Home button on the new remote until it pairs.
Troubleshooting Tips:
Reset the remote: Remove batteries, press and hold the Home button for 10 seconds, reinsert batteries, and try pairing again.
Clear paired devices (via app): In the same settings menu, select any old remotes and choose “Remove Device,” then try pairing the new one.
Check Wi-Fi: Ensure your Firestick is connected to Wi-Fi, as some models require it for pairing.
Test with a USB keyboard (if supported): Some Fire TV models allow a USB keyboard to navigate to the remote pairing menu.
