Now the problem is, when trying to bluetooth pair it with my phone (iPhone 11pro) a message pops up: "the device you are trying to pair is not supported" wth.. never seen that before. Restarting the phone does not help neither.

Anyone experienced similar problem? Any workaround besides buying something else?
Thanks..
Answering my own question.

1. you do not system bluetooth pair the UniCarScan! (so strange)
2. not in supplied manual, taken from the webpage of bmdiag.net:

"The"UniCarScan iOS" connection is only for iOS powered device from Apple - iPhone and iPad and is not supported by Android apps. To use the adapter with Apple devices, no coupling is required under Settings and is not possible. Open directly the settings of the Car Scanner or BimmerCode App and select "UniCarScan iOS" Adapter.

3. just go to BimmeCode select the device and it "magically works" without pairing.. Tested, works well

Hope this will help some confused people like myself
