 From what it looks in the ubuntu-system-settings code we nowadays
don't support the DisplayPinCode call from BlueZ which is relevant for
Bluetooth devices not supporting SSP (those using Bluetooth < 2.1).
Will file a bug for this.

Indeed it's not, but the bluez documentation states

"        void DisplayPinCode(object device, string pincode)

             This method gets called when the service daemon
             needs to display a pincode for an authentication.
             An empty reply should be returned. When the pincode
             needs no longer to be displayed, the Cancel method
             of the agent will be called.
             If this method is not implemented the RequestPinCode
             method will be used instead."

So in practice RequestPinCode is used and you can pair those devices, we
should still support DisplayPinCode so please open a bug (unsure if
there is a visible user experience difference between those?)

Opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1479695 for this.

Simon
