[Bug 284994] Re: bluetooth-wizard unable to pair to fixed pin devices

[lotus49]

OK here you are Jonathan.  This is the information you requested for my
Qstarz BT-Q880 GPS receiver.

$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
    00:00:00:00:46:7C    BT-Q880
$ hcitool inq 00:00:00:00:46:7C
Inquiring ...
    00:00:00:00:46:7C    clock offset: 0x7c58    class: 0x000000

The default PIN for this is 0000.

Thanks for stepping in and offering to collate this information Jonathan -
it's very helpful.
