When pairing my phone with my new Mercury Milan (which uses Sync) I was having some issues. Basically every time I tried to enter the 6 digit pin the car gave me it would error out. It appears that either there is a very short time out period or that the phone does not support 6 digit Bluetooth PINs.
To connect your phone to the car you need to get to the point where is gives you the 6 digit pin. Then by pressing a button (usually volume +) you can prompt the car to give you a special pin which is 0000. Using the 0000 "special" pin I was able to pair my phone with the car on the first shot.
This may also be an issue for other devices that default to 6 digit pins. I hope this helps someone out as it frustrated me for a few days and they shouldn't have to play with different radios and ROMs if I already did it for them
Thanks for the informative post.

When using any of the GB roms on my AT&T Note, when I go to connect to my iTech Bluetooth keyboard (it uses HIS and SPP Bluetooth protocols) it sees the keyboard, then I get a popup on my phone displaying a random 4 digit pin that I punch into the keyboard and hit enter. It then connects.
The issues (and this is on every ICS Rom/Leak), my Note sees the keyboard and tries to pair, but just sits there. I found that if I hit enter on the keyboard, the popup window will flash with the password, but the issue is, since I hit enter, it is too late and the password entered (nothing) was wrong. Then I try again, the 4 digit password it changed.
So does anyone know how to see (maybe with ADB) what the 4 digit password is without being able to see the popup, or another way to make the popup show?
Thanks for any help

Hi
My model is SGH-i747M ICS 4.04, I'm a new user. In my car I have Clarion NX602, the only setting for c is on/off, it is a phone that must connect.
In my old phone, I could connect, no prob, just by entering a simple code 0000 manually in the phone. Was working great so HU is working correctly..
S3 is detecting car device, but instead of giving me a possibility of entering the code manually, is creating random code (6 digits) by itself. Of course this code is not correct so I can't connect.I have only two buttons OK and Cancel. If I chose Cancel, It closes connection.
What a disaster! I badly need Bluetooth, I'm driving a lot for work.
Is there any way to manually enter the code?
Thanks

I was trying to pay a bill over the phone but every few times I would put in a combo of numbers, and they appeared above the number pad as the correct numbers the automated voice said it could not recognise my input.
Thinking it was the stupid automated service(it would not be the first time) I switched to my house phone and everything went smoothly all number pad presses correctly recognised.
I have never experienced this where the number show up as correct but for some reason are not being picked up correctly.
I am using the Jellybam ROM by the way.
I have a 6 digit pin enabled on my remix install.... every time I boot up, the very first time I enter the pin it says the pins is incorrect and that I have X many attempts remaining. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I use keyboard or touchscreen to enter the pin. It then works from the second attempt onwards.
It also doesn't seem to matter how long I leave it after booting, it will always reject the first attempt.
Initially I thought it was fat fingers, but it is definitely not that.
Has anyone else come across this issue?
Thanks

Bump - in the absence of a solution - any trouble shooting advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys
I am trying to connect my external bluetooth keyboard "Hama KEY2GO X500" with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Global (mido).
When I enable the pairing mode the phone wants me to type a pass code on the keyboard and press return. But - I figure this is some kind of bug - it doesn't show me the pairing code. You can look at the attached image to see what i mean.
I was able to successfully pair this keyboard with my old xperia z1c and it worked flawlessly, the phone showed me the code, I typed it on the keyboard and it was connected within seconds.
Do you have any idea how to do this on Redmi Note 4?
Ok never mind. Just when I watched the attached image at my computer screen closely I recognized the pairing code is barely visible. I checked my phone screen and I cannot read it.
so i just started pairing, quickly took a screenshot and sent it to my PC, reading the pass code from my computer screen and entered it. Worked!
