“How do I pair 2 magic remotes-AN-MR18BA to OLED 65C8P so all functions operate on both the remotes? When I register the 1st unit and then the 2nd one, it prevents the 1st unit from displaying the cursor to access any functions. Wheel doesn't work.”

2020 July LG 7300 series 55".. same issue. Bought 2nd remote for the wife. Can register it but curser and wheel will not work. Can power off and change channels but very limited in other controls. Wish I'd read about this BEFORE I bought the 2nd remote.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Regrettably, you cannot pair 2 LG Magic Remote Control for Select 2018 LG AI ThinQ® Smart TV, Model # AN-MR18BA to the same LG C8PUA 4K HDR Smart OLED TV w/ AI ThinQ® - 65" Class (64.5" Diag), Model # OLED65C8PUA. Our Magic Remotes are Bluetooth devices and Multi-pairing is not supported by the TV or by the Magic Remotes...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As others have said, you cannot pair more than one Magic Remote at a time. However, a second un-paired Magic Remote is fully functional without pairing, with the following exceptions: 1. Communication is I/R only, not RF. 2. No onscreen cursor. However, menus can still be navigated with the four way buttons and selected with the center wheel. 3. Some third party device controls (like a Roku for example) do not work. Others (like Tivo) do work. 4. No microphone / voice recognition. Registering an un-registered remote to enable the cursor is fairly easy. Just press HOME and BACK simultaneously until the power button flashes and then release them. Then press the center wheel and the remote will be registered (and de-register the first remote).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.2nd remote for LG OLED65C1PUB. After reading about the problems pairing a 2nd LG Magic remote, I bought a LG model akb75095307 for $12 from Amazon. It is not a "Magic" remote, but it does allow us to power the TV on/off, change channel, control volume, set "hot key shortcuts"(e.g. long press 1 to start Netflix, long press 2 to start Amazon, etc). It's a $12 simple solution to give us a second remote which provides enough functionality to be useful.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I belive only one remote can be paired.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you buy an aftermarket remote with a USB adapter the second remote will work :)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’ve done it with my tv,this was only by chance.I have a 2017 LG tv with magic remote and a 2020 LG tv that had 2 remotes.this new remote paired with the older tv to give all functions including the wheel but sadly not the cursor function.
