Bluetooth GPS connection problem

I am trying to get Windows XP SP2 to connect to a CoPilot Bluetooth GPS
receiver using a Toshiba USB Bluetooth dongle in a Dell laptop. I know the
Toshiba device works because I can connect a Windows SmartPhone to the PC.
However, when I attempt to connect the GPS receiver, Windows XP recognizes it
but asks for a passkey. The GPS receiver does not have any user interface
and no passkey was supplied with it. No matter what I answer to this request
for a passkey (including "No passkey was supplied"), Windows XP refuses to
connect to the device. Can you provide any advice on how to overcome this
problem? (I've contacted CoPilot but have not heard anything back from them.)

Are you sure the passkey is not in the documentation?

A default value is 0000 for quite a few but to be sure maybe a visit the
the suppliers website may help?
