2nd Wireless Pad setup Question

TheDean · 18 Apr 2007 at 11:31

Hi all,

Al most of you know I bought my 360 a couple of days ago. I knew I was going to be playing with mates on Pro Evo etc etc etc so bought a 2nd wireless pad.

Now - The pad that came with the system is fine. I press and hold the central 'X' button and the system will power on and assign the pad to 'player 1'. However, I cannot do this with the 2nd pad...If I press and hold the 'X' button it cannot seem to find the 360. Even if I turn the system on manually then press and hold the 'x' button still, nothing happens.
I also notice that there is a smallish button with can be pressed on the controller. This seems to be a search button for the console. I press this and the lightgoes round and round the 'x' button, but still cannot find the cosole itself.

Any ideas?

Press the round button on front of the console next to the right memory card slot as well

Press the small button on controller AND the small button on the 360, this will find the device. If you use a controller with another 360 you need the console to find the pad again.

Press the small button on the console then the one on the controller, both will start spinning round and it'll pair with the 2nd controller.

there are two 360's in my house, and i can't work out if you can turn on and re-bind a controller without turning on the box that it was originally bound to. If i want to use extra pads downstairs on my flatmate's 360 i have to turn them on, re-bind, and then go upstairs and turn my 360 off.

You dont need the 360 on it's bound to, just turn the controller on press then button on the front of the one downstairs then on the controller.

Why the confusion over something this simple?

Does the marrying button not set it off searching? (press and hold it)

lol my housemate takes great pleasure in making one of his wireless controllers linked to my 360 so that he can turn it on in the middle of the night to scare me
