Anonymous

I am unable to connect the remote due to it requiring a PIN.  I have tried adding it through the personal area network and it still will not work.  Any ideas on what to do to connect?

    Hi,

    I am Wilfredo an Independent advisor

    Try This

    Start the Bluetooth device with which the Wii Remote will connect.

    Press the "1" and "2" buttons together on the Wii control. The LED lights will flash on the remote. This action will activate the Wii Remote in the mode that allows it to be discovered by the Bluetooth device you wish to connect. Continue pressing the buttons throughout the association process.

    Find the Wii Remote through the Bluetooth device in the connection component. The Wii Remote will be identified by the connection device as "NINTENDO-RVT-CNT-01".

    Click on the "Next" button. When asked for a security code or PIN, click on the "Skip" button and leave the field blank.

    Click on the "Keyboard / Mouse / HID Service" and click "OK". The Wii Remote now appears in the list of connected devices.

    I hope it helps you

    Neither of these worked.  The pins both said try again on both the settings page and the Devices and Printers.

    Enter 0000 or 1111 for the pin.

    You can also try pairing through Devices and Printers. Learn more:
