Turn on your Xbox, press the Xbox button on the controller until it lights up. Then, press the small sync button on the top edge until it starts flashing. Hit the sync button on your console, and voilà!

I've done this a million times. The trick is to hold the sync button on the console (left of the disc tray) and the controller's sync button (top edge) at the same time until they find each other. Happy gaming!

Honestly, just use the USB cable to connect the controller directly to the console. Easy peasy, no syncing needed!
