It's recommended that the UIs try to generate PINs for the users, rather
than relying on them entering random numbers.

You will display it to them.

Yep, in the UI, because that's the PIN you will have to enter on the devi=
ce.

Not confirm, but enter.

They're supposed to enter it. The device is a Hi-Fi with Bluetooth
functionality:
http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/CMT-DH5BT

You have a UI to enter the PIN but it will only allow you to enter 4
digits. So any number longer than 4 digits will fail to pair.

It doesn't.
