My Amazon Fire was installed in my Avant 55 by the technician who set up my TV, and everything has worked fine via the beoremote for a full year, so B&O should be able to advise you.

However, I use the BT TV box for all my TV recording, playback and streaming, which can also be controlled from the beoremote.  You need to program the remote to recognise BT TV, which will then convert the remote's signal to the equivalent BT TV commands.  I produced this chart which details most of them:

After a week or two you remember all the important ones.

By the way, you can also access Netflix (and much more) from the BT TV box, and Netflix content is vastly superior to Amazon video with no extra charges.

Hope this helps.
