This guide explains how to connect your Wiimote to your PC via Bluetooth.

This is the Windows Vista guide. If you don't use Windows Vista, you might try the Windows XP Wiimote Setup Guide.
We assume you have Bluetooth already installed and working on your PC.
Required hardware/software:

• Wiimote
• Bluetooth Wireless Adapter
• Windows Vista

I have used a Wiimote on both XP and Vista with very little trouble. It may work on other operating systems as well, but I haven't personally tested them.

Right-click on the Bluetooth icon in your taskbar and click on "Add a Bluetooth Device".

Be sure to check "My device is set up and ready to be found." then push the [1] and [2] buttons on the Wiimote simultaneously. This puts the Wiimote into "discoverable" mode. Click the "Next" button after the blue LED lights begin to flash on the Wiimote.

The Device Wizard will begin searching for Bluetooth devices. The Wiimote must be in "discoverable" mode during this step.

If you've installed the Wiimote before, it may show as "Already connected" but you'll need to add it each time you want to use it. Click on the "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01" device to select it and then wait for your Wiimote lights to quit flashing. Put it back into "discoverable" mode before clicking the "Next" button. Remember, the status of the device can change.

Quickly select "Don't use a passkey" and click "Next".
If the blue lights on the Wiimote quit blinking at all during or after this step, quickly put it back into "discoverable" mode.

If you did everything quickly enough and there are no problems, your device should connect and install.

Click "Finish" and you'll be ready to move on to using GlovePIE, an application that can communicate with the Wiimote.
