I think the answer is: "dont bother", there is nothing useful that bluetooth can do with a host, but tethering. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2600395?answerId=15981368022#15981368022

Is this correct?

This is not a feature of iphone, never has been.

Bluetooth is supported for speakers/headset/handsfree/some keyboards/some peer-to-peer apps from the app store/interent tethering where provided by the carrier.

Other than this it will not connect to any computer/phone/device
