When trying to pair my mobile to a ford car stereo via Bluetooth i need to enter a 4 digit random code but as the keyboard isn’t displayed i cannot enter to pair with the car system.

PRECONDITIONS:

Mobile Bluetooth on
Ford Mondeo car stereo

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Turn on Bluetooth
  2. Search for devices
  3. Select the Ford Car stereo displayed

EXPECTED RESULT:

Keyboard popups or numeric pad so that you can enter the code displayed on the car stereo to complete the pairing process.

MODIFICATIONS:

I only installed Sailfish OS yesterday so its pretty standard.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

I have had similar problems with my previous Sony Xperia 10 Plus, usually after an upgrade, i finally found a workaround which was to reset the mobile and it worked but that is a drastic test as i have set lots of things up so far and it wasn’t an upgrade this time.
