iPad mini not discovering any Bluetooth devices

Turn off the bluetooth on the iPad and iPhone that have been previously paired with the speakers, put the speakers in pairing mode and try again.

Apparently the iPad mini prefers pairing mode of just being open to connecting. I went back to my speaker website and read though pairing to get it right.

Hi

You can't use Bluetooth to pair iOS devices with other iOS devices or Computers (Macs or PCs) as it's not part of the OS.

You should be able to pair it with the speakers though. Have you ever been able to pair it with those speakers? What make are they? Does the speaker documentation state it supports pairing with iOS devices? Have you visited to the manufacturer's website to see if there's anything helpful there yet? Have you tried to get as close as possible to the speakers? Distance between devices is a major factor to consider when attempting to pair devices.

HTH?

Make sure the speakers are not paired with one of the other devices at the time you want to pair them with the iPad Mini otherwise they won't show up as they are already paired to something.

With that said, yes the iPhone and other iPad will not pair with the mini except to share an internet connection and for that you'll need to enable the hotspot feature on the iPhone or iPad (if cellular model) before attempting to pair.
