For connecting I have written shell script, which use qdbus: BT="XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX" # replace with your BT address # first disconnect everything qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.AudioSink.Disconnect 1>/dev/null 2>&1 qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.Headset.Disconnect 1>/dev/null 2>&1 qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.Audio.Disconnect 1>/dev/null 2>&1 # connect qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.AudioSink.Connect qdbus --system org.bluez `qdbus --system org.bluez | grep $BT | head -1 2>/dev/null` org.bluez.Headset.Connect # set pulseaudio profile to a2dp pactl set-card-profile bluez_card.$BT a2dp For pairing is possible to use bluez-simple-agent (python script, needs only python dbus packages). Some info is on arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluez4#Pairing_with_bluez4 I guess, just download and extract that script from bluez4 package. Should work out-of-box as it does not depend on any bluez/bluetooth packages... Note that you can have registered only one bluez agent, so maybe killing some gnome/kde/...
