 Try to connect and when the connection is stuck at 80%, open the notifications bar and check if the PIN code/Pair request is there, if it the case open it and enter the PIN code.
+On Android it is also possible that other apps prevent the PIN code pop-up from showing, even when pairing in the Android Bluetooth settings menu. One such an app is "FrSky Free Link", which even blocks pairing with Bluetooth headsets. In this case, the thing to do is remove the problematic app. This can be done by uninstalling apps one by one (starting with apps that use or connect to Bluetooth devices), removing all apps or even resetting the phone to factory defaults. When the Victron products are paired to the phone/tablet, the problematic app can be re-installed.
 The default pin-code is 000000, six times zero.
