What? One mail earlier you said you are *not* asked for the PIN? If it
asks for the PIN then your Wii Remote isn't detected as a Wii Remote.
You cannot type the PIN as the PIN contains binary-0 characters which
cannot be entered here.

What do you find in these files? Especially the
/var/lib/bluetooth/<bt>/did files are interesting.

Gnah, that doesn't work. You cannot send the binary PIN via dbus to
BlueZ, this is why we provide the wiimote-plugin.

Did you try this patch:
https://github.com/dvdhrm/xwiimote/issues/4#issuecomment-3302615
The Patch 1/2 isn't needed but 2/2 should fix the pairing issues with
any Wii Remote.
