Same here.
Linux Mint 18.1 64bit Cinnamon Desktop (ubuntu 16.04), Bluetoothctl
v5.37.
After I wrote the below forum post I also implemented this udev change
which helped somewhat as I have an onboard bluetooth that I wanted to
disable after buying a "csr 4.0" usb dongle off of ebay. The GUI worked
better, but still no pair:
>sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/81-bluetooth-hci.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0cf3", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3004",
ATTR{authorized}="0"
Here is the article I posted in a facebook forum with all the gory
details:
Been unable to use bluetooth for many years and many laptops. Bought a CSR v4.0
dongle off of ebay.
>lsusb Bus 003 Device 011: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth
>Dongle (HCI mode)
Even worse results.
In bluetoothctl (skipping the GUI):
[bluetooth]# list
Controller 00:1A:7D:DA:71:13 GT70-2PE #1 [default]
Controller 48:5A:B6:19:7F:30 GT70-2PE
#1 is the usb dongle I bought.
The other is the built-in Atheros in the laptop.
[bluetooth]# power on
Changing power on succeeded
[bluetooth]# scan on

I am trying to connect to the iMT525 speaker phone by Altec Lansing.
[bluetooth]# pair 00:07:62:18:3D:C5

[CHG] Device 00:07:62:18:3D:C5 Connected: no
Cannot pair though the default pair code is 0000 for a sound device.
Any ideas?

Bug description:
Bluez 5.3 does not have support for pairing with devices (such as
keyboards) that use a PIN code for pairing.
A mouse pairs correctly.
From my research it seems as if the ChromeOS project developed patches
to fix this and they are supposed to have been included in Bluez 5.4
(that statement dated April 2013) but I've not yet identified them.
"The agent's implementation in bt_console/bluetoothctl upstream is
incomplete, missing some functions like DisplayPincode."
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=222661
Along with the loss of Headset profiles meaning VoIP applications can
no longer use HSP/HFP profiles (requiring functionality yet to land in
Ofono) this cripples the use of Bluetooth for much else than A2DP or
mouse input.
Attempting to pair with, for example, an Apple Wireless Keyboard that
pairs and works correctly with 14.04 LTS, fails totally on 15.10.
The mouse shown below is already paired, connected, and working.

This cycle repeats in various permuations. Sometimes the final
"Request PIN code" does not appear.
