Hello, opening the door on the front of the wii console while the console was on and my first wii remote was linked and 1 was lit, i held in sync on front of console for like 10 seconds and then hit sync on new wii remote for like 2 seconds and it sync'd up great. after multiple attempts and many failures and almost taking back remote, this link really helped. Thanks from one gamer to another.

Thanks for the help, but nothing here worked for me.
No matter what I do they won't sync up... And I just want to play Mario Kart, which doesn't even need the wiimotes!
But apparently you MUST use the wiimotes to get through the menu... they should've made it so you can use the GC controller in the menu screen...

YESSSS!! Thank you good sir.

I have two problems:

1. I have four Wii remotes. They have to be re-synced if we go more than a week without using the Wii system. Why is this and is there anything we can do to make them stay synced?

2. One of the four remotes just won't sync at all and won't even give any blinks or lights when ANY buttons are pushed, including the power button. I've put in

Thank you so much.
I had this problem from the day i bought my wii. One of the controllers would connect but the other wouldn't untill i was in the game and had told the game to search for controllers. But your advice helped. although i wasn't sure if you had to have your wii on or off?
But thanks anyway, Big help

FINALLY. The one that worked was holding down the sync on the remote and pressing the sync on the wii repeatedly. None of the other suggestions worked INCLUDING the one that anonymous said was posted at the wii site. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

That was quite helpful, thanks!

Hey guys I've tried everything an haven't been able to sync a brandnew 3rd remote that I just received today. It was bought thru Ebay to a seller in Hong Kong, and I've seen the feedback of other byers they haven't had any issues, the nun-chuck it came with works perfectly. But the remote won't sync at all. Any new tips?

2009-12-25T17:06:43.882-08:00

I eventually read the instructions wich say to turn on the Wii then press the sync button on the Wiimote then while it flashes press the sync button on the Wii. Repeat this for all remotes and they will stay in that order for multi player games.

Hi Thanks for your help this worked for me.

"Edwin said...

Hi
what seems to help in my case is to repeatedly press the sync button on the Wii as opposed to keeping it pressed all the time trying to sync. Once I gigured that out I could sync remotes easily."

Thanks Ken for starting this thread and thanks Edwin and the others who posted this tip.

It worked immediately for me and I had

I can't believe it is THREE YEARS since you posted this and it is STILL a problem. Mine when to hell in a hand basket when adding my wii fit plus. I have given up. I'm waiting for my 5 year old to get home from school to help me follow these directions. Pressing reset on both did not work, nor did the battery tricks or restarting the machine.

wow you really helped thanks

2009-10-23T16:30:10.367-07:00

You want to make sure that you press the red button on the battery compartment of the remote and the red button on the actual wii receiver and make sure they are in sync together. Also for this to work the remote has to have batteries to press that red button, it needs power to send a message to the wii receiver. If you are still having trouble I would exchange the remote. Good Luck, the wii
