I suspect none of what I know will help you, but:

I use BT between my Palm handheld and variety of BT devices such as GPS,
mobile phone, PC with BT dongle etc to transmit data both ways

however, I never went past supplied utilities to establish required pre-req.

generally, I need to make target device visible/discoverable, then, run
the originating device to discover/enroll the target

if the target has key, it will ask, otherwise, it will work


I don't think they always want a passkey, though, I think, most recent
device do insist on it

yes, you're correct, they're generally '0000' or '1234' THOUGH not always,
with Navman GPS the key is 'NAVMAN'

based on my past experience, if the device has a key, needless to say, you
will need to know and insert it, BUT, if it doesn't, you shouldn't need it

(btw, I recently came across a nifty utility 'BTClass' that both documents
and allows to cloak or alter BT capability indicators, so, I can make Palm
BT-pretend it's a BT-printer or whatever)
