Whether you lost your original Firestick remote or if you need to upgrade your remote, you can pair a new remote with your Firestick. Paring the Firestick remote can be done in two different ways such as using the old remote and by using The Fire TV app. While replacing the old remote, remember to check the compatibility of the new Firestick remote, as not all Firestick remotes are interchangeable.
