The "normal" way of pairing bluetooth is easy - put both devices into discovery mode, wait for the bluetooth device to show up on the screen, select it, enter passcode, and done.
But what if you have two devices and neither have a screen, much less a keyboard of any kind? Like a bluetooth transmitter that takes an AUX-in from an MP3 player or whatever, and a bluetooth receiver that has an AUX-out into some speakers?
Do these two need to be hardwired to search for and ONLY pair to each other when in discovery mode, meaning they must be the same brand and made explicitly to work together? Or is there a standard protocol for screen-less bluetooth devices to pair, regardless of their make and model?
