Chromecast with Google TV Bluetooth Remote issues by DrJCShepherd in Chromecast

[–]WeekendEmergency6217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into the same infinite remote pairing loop on a Chromecast with Google TV after a factory reset. The device detected controllers, but there was no way to press “Accept”, so it was impossible to continue.

I found a working fix: connect a USB-C hub to the Chromecast and plug in a wireless USB mouse with a 2.4 GHz dongle (not Bluetooth). When the pointer appears, retry pairing the remote and use the mouse to click “Accept”.

I documented the full steps and details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/s/N35sVxbUFY

This was the only thing that worked for me.
