Hi all.

 

I've recently purchased a second hand car with an after-market bluetooth car kit.

 

The issue is the pairing code for the car kit is not 0000 or 1234

 

I am unable to contact the previous owners (as I purchased the car through a dealer)

 

The Dealer is unable to assist.

 

Ive scanned the MAC address for the chipset and it comes back as 00:17:53:33:36:08 

 

nFore Technology Inc

 

Prior to ripping my dash apart to find the make/model of the unit and attempt a reset on the unit itself, can anyone point me toward a "software method" that might help recover the pin.

 

Preferably for OSX :) 

 

Cheers for any suggestions

 

Mark.

On some of the cheapies from the likes of jonvy there is a menu in the bluetooth settings where you set the pin on the head unit.

I'd try the other obvious ones... 1111, 2222, ..., 9999
