Hi Hani and welcome to Beoworld,

if you mean the A9 2nd Generation - that has no ir-receiver built-in.

No way to get that working.

Use the BeoMusic app.

Hi MM,

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Ah shame, really wanted to use the Beo6 for that. Thought if no IR, maybe they could connect through wifi somehow.

Unfortunately the Beo 6 isn't that "intelligent".
It can only connect to a BeoMaster 5 via a custom XMPP protocol. 

If you really can't live without the ability to control it via a Beo 6 you could do some tinkering, of course.
Connect a 455kHz IR receiver to e.g. a Raspberry Pi, setup LIRC and trigger network-based commands on incoming IR events.
You could even use a normal/cheaper 38kHz receiver if you change the programming of your Beo 6.
This way it should be possible to control basic stuff like volume and skipping tracks via a IR remote...  

BR,
BeoMotion. 

yeah that would be nice, but id have to buy one now :-) on my list!

Would it be possible perhaps to connect the IR Eye somehow to A9Mk2 and use it to receive Beo5 remote commands?

I am using a beosound essence remote with my A9 MKII and it works fine. The only thing is essence can be a bit sluggish when you just start using it - I suspect it goes to sleep and has to connect but I am not sure. I wonder if the bluetooth version of the beoremote 1 works with it? 

I have Essence Remote - bought it with A9 Mk2 - and it is both temperamental and sluggish. So I decided to give up and use the app mostly.

Beo5 question was more to check if there is any possibility at all (like I asked with an IR Eye)...
