Windows – how to connect a Wiimote device to Windows 8 without knowing the pairing code

bluetoothdonglewiiwiimotewindows 8

I have a CSR bluetooth radio, a bluetooth dongle. I'm trying to connect my wiimote to my laptop. Whenever I try to connect it, it asks for the pairing code, but (after searching online) it turns out that a pairing code isn't needed to connect the wiimote to the laptop through bluetooth. I also don't get the option to skip this step.

The steps that I take:

  • I go to bluetooth, right-click and click add device.
  • I search for my wiimote and on the wiimote I press sync.
  • When they both find each other, I double-click on the found device (the wiimote) and it asks me for the pairing code.

There is no option to skip this step. I've tried to connect with 0000, 1111, 1234, but none of them seems to work.

The pin is your WiiMote's MAC address backwards. Use one of the following ways to find it:

If connecting by holding down the 1+2 buttons, the PIN is the bluetooth address of the wiimote backwards, if connecting by pressing the “sync” button on the back of the wiimote, then the PIN is the bluetooth address of the host backwards.
