Unable to pair iPhone 11 to Fiat, only provides 4 digit pairing code

I have bought a new “old car” - Fiat Doblo “66” plate. I am using an iPhone 11 max pro. I have tried to pair the car audio system with my phone, but both generate pairing codes (the car gives me 4 digit code and the phone 6 digit code).

So, when I turn on the car’s Bluetooth it generates 4 digit pair code. I see the car in my iPhones’ Bluetooth list, I press it and the phone generates 6 digit code which has nothing in common with the car’s 4 digit code. Though when I press “pair”, the car will s paired in my phone list, but connection not working (music apps can not connect to car).

What am I doing wrong?!? Please help! Thanks in advance!
