The XR16 is the only Xfinity remote that doesn’t have a numeric keypad, which makes it pretty recognizable. One of the best things about the XR16 remote and Flex Box is that you don’t have to track down the component codes for your TV and other devices—the Flex Box does that for you!
Point the remote at the Flex Box. Press and release the button with the microphone on it. Some instructions will appear on the TV screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your remote. When pairing is complete, you’ll be asked if you want to use your XR16 remote to control other devices. If you select Yes, you will immediately be taken through the remaining steps of programming your XR11 remote to control power and volume for your other components. All done!
To make sure you’re using the right method, verify the model number inside of the battery compartment. Also, if you haven’t inserted AA batteries into your remote, you should do so now.
Press and hold the Xfinity and Info (the lowercase i button to the right of the microphone button) buttons at the same time for about five seconds. Lift your fingers from both buttons when the light at the top turns green. A three-digit pairing code will appear. Use the numeric keypad to enter the three-digit code. Once validated, your remote will be paired.

If your remote control has a button for the device you want to program (use the AUX button for audio), press it once now. Press and hold the Setup or Set button until the light turns green (or flashes red, if you’re using an older black remote). Enter the code for the component. As long as the code is accepted, the status LED should blink green twice again. If not, try one of the other codes. Repeat for each component you want to control.
This method will not work for the XR16 or XR15 remotes.
If you’re using the older black component remote with a red button at the top-right corner, your light will never turn green. Lift your finger when it blinks red twice.
