I have an MK808B which is running XBMC for Android. I have the Blu-Link PS3 Universal Remote, but I can't seem to get it to pair with the device. It finds it while scanning for Bluetooth devices, but it's not pairing. Does anyone know if there's something I can do to get it to pair, and then get it to work in XBMC? The remote also has infrared if anyone knows whether or not the MK808B is compatible with an infrared adapter. Sorry if this post is in the wrong section, this is my first post here.

I have the same question--different Android device, but essentially the same need.
Anyone have any insight to share?
It seems like the blu-link can be used to control XBMC in a Windows environment with PS3BluMote or similar software, but I can't find anything that works on Android.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Since release Android OS has not been bundled with a standardized Bluetooth stack. This has contributed to the compatibility issues that one will encounter depending on the device in question.
This will all change with the release of Android 4.3 however as Google as adopted a standard. If your manufacture opts to provide an update to this build it is very likely that the issue will be resolved.
Edit: this is nothing more than educated guess based on my extensive knowledge of Android. Without having worked with the MK808 myself I can not definitively say that this is the root cause of the problem you're experiencing.
