that is no really how D-Bus would handle strings. From a D-Bus point of
view, the only way would be using a Byte array.

Potentially we could allow implementing a passkey agent as a plugin and
then you could implement special handling via a plugin. Problem then
again is how to identify that it is a Wiimote. Or did they actually
added a PnP SDP record to it. It has been so long that I hacked on these
devices.
