    The remote you want is the Voice Remote, found on this page. It can be paired with any Premiere or Premiere+, along with a number of other Roku models. 

    Your current remote is IR, which doesn't require pairing to the device. You can pair the new remote by using the existing remote to access the Settings/Remote menu to add a new remote. Once the new one is paired you won't need to use the old one. But keep it around after you remove the batteries. No, nothing else on the device will be changed just by pairing a WiFi Direct remote.

    No, Roku has no trade-in program. And Roku no longer sells a Premiere+ version. You would have to buy a Streaming Stick+ or Ultra to get a model with a WiFi Direct remote. Any Premiere+ you find "new" are actually going to be a 7th generation (2018) or older device (the latest Ultra is considered the 9th generation).
