Can not pair XR15V2 remote

I have a brand new XR15V2 remote. I am unable to get the volume button and voice remote button to work. I have reset the remote with A and D buttons followed by 981. I have started the pairing process and it stalls at Scanning for Devices. WhI am also unable to generate a 3 digit pairing code.

Hey there, @user_wbunze, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding your remote. I can understand how frustrating that is, especially with a brand-new remote. If the XR15V2 is getting stuck on “Scanning for Devices” after the 981 reset, are you able to control the X1 box at all with the remote, such as changing channels or opening the guide, or are none of the buttons responding?

The only buttons that function are the power, numbers for changing channels, and the guide button.

user_wbunze Thanks for confirming. Since some buttons are working but Volume and Voice aren’t, it sounds like the remote hasn’t fully paired. When you press and hold the Xfinity + Info buttons together for about 5 seconds, does the status light turn green, or does anything appear on the TV screen?

OMG!!! It worked! Up until today, the three digit code never displayed.  I have spent over 4 hours with two remotes trying to get it to work. Thank you so much for your help!! 🎉
