@DoubleMonoLR Жыл бұрын
@@Rickmakes They don't pair as such. IR remotes(exactly the same with traditional IR tv etc remotes) use a particular way of coding the signal, different brands use different codes. There is no pairing, if the head unit 'understands' the IR signal it receives it works, otherwise it does nothing. These remotes have no way to change the codes, so they won't work with most head units. This is why 'universal' remotes come with a list of setting codes, so the remote can be set to match the device. Likewise 'learning' codes record the IR signal from an original remote.
