Bluetooth issues c220 bluetec
Hi all sorry bit geeky but I wanted to use my amazon alexa dot in the car so created hotspot through iPhone 6 Plus so far so good however it won't connect to the Bluetooth audio as a Bluetooth audio player keeps saying not authorised and tried through alexa app and just won't connect.
So anyone any ideas or anyone know if you can get a 3.5mm audio jack to go into one of the USB ports in the armrest
All ideas very welcome

Dot is a BT receiver, but I'm not sure if it's also a BT transmitter, which is what you'd need. Unfortunately the USB ports on the car are looking specifically for a mass storage device or a smartphone. No way to feed them stereo audio and have the car make any sense of it.
I'd just add a BT transmitter to the 3.5mm analog out of the Dot and that will pair to the car.
The transmitter will need a source for power (micro USB).

Ok it would appear to be down to the fact that neither the dot or Bluetooth receiver / transmitter ask for a pass key or can confirm a passkey like a iPhone or iPad does both connect no probs. So some way I need a Bluetooth device that I can confirm a passcode with that connects to the dot
