Second question 1 day!!

I have a bluetooth adaptor in the car, connects fine to my iphone, and streams music etc.

But my Lenovo Tab3 tablet says "Couldn't pair with LRBT-1 because of an incorrect PIN or passkey"

Thing is, there is no passkey for the LRBT-1, and the Lenovo doesn't ask for one?

The Lenovo lists the LRBT-1 as a bluetooth device, I click it to pair, and then that message comes up-no box asking for a PIN opr anything.

I have restarted the tablet, checked for software updates, everything is up to date.

Very confused

Had similar to this when trying to connect an old Sony MP3 player my missus has to a new BT speaker. Just wouldn't connect for that reason, kept asking for a pass code, speaker didn't need one, tried 0000 etc.

Turns out that it just wasn't ever going to work, MP3 running a very old version of BT, speaker a much newer one, just not compatible.

At least as yours is a tablet there might be some way to update it?

Not being funny, but you are placing the BT adaptor in pairing mode when trying to connect them? Just because the tablet can see it doesn't mean the adaptor is in pairing mode.
