Remote control system

A system for controlling a controllable device, in particular a navigation device, the system comprising

• a controllable device (450) comprising a user input (460), a controller (452) and a wireless communications interface (454);
• a remote control device (400) for controlling the controllable device and comprising a user input (410), a controller (402) and a wireless communications interface (404);
• the controller (402) of the remote control device (400) being arranged for:
• transmitting a pairing request to the controllable device via the wireless communications interface (404) of the remote control device (400);
• in response to receiving a confirmation from the controllable device via the wireless communications interface (404) of the remote control device (400), pairing with the controllable device to obtain a paired controllable device;
• and
• in response to a user activation of the user input, transmitting an associated command to the paired controllable device via the wireless communications interface (404) of the remote control device (400);
• and
• the controller (452) of the controllable device (450) being arranged for:
• receiving the pairing request from the remote control device via the wireless communications interface (454) of the controllable device (450);
• enabling a user to allow or reject the pairing request by means of the user input (460) of the controllable device (450);
• in response to the user allowing the pairing request, transmitting the confirmation to the remote control device via the wireless communications interface (454) of the controllable device (450) and pairing with the remote control device to obtain a paired remote control device;
• and
• in response to receiving a command from the paired remote control device (400) via the wireless communications interface (454) of the controllable device (450), executing the command.
